[Fatigue fracture below the internal tibial plateau after locked intramedullary nailing]

The authors present a case of stress fracture of the medial condyle of the tibia following intramedullary nailing with distal locking. This complication, which appeared two years after the surgical procedure and one year after the removal of the nail, has not yet been described in the literature. The patient was a young man without any excessive physical load. The presence of the intramedullary nail was accompanied by a bone clearness in the medial part of the superior epiphyseo-metaphyseal level of the tibia.
