Abstract:
Intramedullary nailing is an effective and well-established method for the treatment of a wide spectrum of tibial fractures. Nevertheless, the handling of metaphyseal and open fracture remains challenging. Surgical and technical advancements have opened up new possibilities to broaden the indication of intramedullary nailing in these areas.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
