Assessing outcome of the proximal one-third tibial fractures managed by intramedullary nailing along with reduction plate

Background: Proximal one-third tibial fractures are very commonly encountered in ortho emergencies. The management options include nailing and plating with each having its own downfalls. Usually very long plates have to be used in such fractures creating therefore soft tissue related problems in future. However,the use of nails in such fractures is often marred with malalignment. Materials and Methods: A total number of seven subjects who were managed with intramedullary nailing along with small reduction plates were included in our study. The study was prospective in nature and was carried from MAR’20 to JUN’20.
