Bone infection is a major indication for the use of external fixation. External fixation can also be used for deformity corre

Intramedullary nailing technique for tibial fractures: through a suprapatellar, transarticular approach with the knee flexed at 20-30° and a specific protective tube to protect the intra-articular structures.01.Tibial intramedullary nailing: access and alignment, anterior knee painSurgical access fo

A locking plate is a fracture fixing device with a threaded hole that turns the plate into an angular fixing device (screw) when a screw with a threaded head is screwed into it. Locking (angle-stabilized) plates can have both locking and non-locking holes for different screws to be screwed into (als

Intramedullary nail fixation remains the treatment of choice for unstable and displaced tibial stem fractures in adults. The goal of surgical treatment is to restore length, alignment and rotation of the tibia and to achieve fracture healing. The advantages of intramedullary nailing are minimal surg
