Suprapatellar nailing effective for tibial shaft, periarticular fractures
Tibial shaft fractures have an incidence of 16.9 per 100,000 people per year. Men aged 10 to 20 years tend to sustain these fractures, whereas women aged 20 to 30 years tend to sustain these injuries. The mechanisms of injury include low-energy twisting injuries or high-energy trauma which portend a high risk of associated soft tissue injury due to the subcutaneous location of the tibia. Treatment options are largely dictated by integrity of the soft tissue envelope and location of the fracture.
