Risk factors for delayed return to work following tibial shaft fracture surgery
PurposeTo determine when patients return to work following operative repair of tibial shaft fractures (TSF) and what risk factors are associated with...
-
Intra-articular fracture patterns associated with tibial shaft fractures: more than just the posterior malleolus
BackgroundThe association of tibial shaft fractures (TSFs) with posterior malleolar fractures is well described. The purpose of this study was to...

External fixation versus intramedullary nailing for the management of open tibial fracture: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
AimTibial shaft fractures are the most common type of long-bone fractures. External fixation (EF) and intramedullary nailing (IMN) are widely used...
-
Suprapatellar tibial fracture nailing is associated with lower rate for acute compartment syndrome and the need for fasciotomy compared with the infrapatellar approach
BackgroundIntramedullary tibial nailing (IMN) is the gold standard for stabilizing tibial shaft fractures. IMN can be performed through an infra- or...
