From the biological and biochemical points of view closed blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis is an optimum technique for the treatment of extraarticular proximal tibial fractures. The disadvantage of the technique is the complexity of reposition achievement and maintenance. Great number of surgical methods and implants with different efficacy and safety has been proposed to solve these problems. The review presents the analysis of literature dedicated to different methods of reposition achievement and maintenance in intramedullary osteosynthesis of extraarticular proximal tibial fractures.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
