Abstract: OBJECTIVE: A prospective, randomized study to compare patients with closed, multi-fragmented tibial diaphyseal fractures treated using one of two fixation methods undertaken during minimally invasive surgery: nonreamed interlocking intramedullary nails or bridging plates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-five patients were studied; 22 patients were treated with bridging plates, 23 with interlocking nails without reaming. All fractures were Type B and C (according to the AO classification). RESULTS: Clinical and ra… Show more

“…We included eight studies that reported fracture healing time, and these studies were randomized controlled trials, which are less susceptible to selection bias (30), and strictly adhered to the inclusion criteria. We found no significant differences between the eight studies regarding the participants, interventions, or outcome measures (14-17,19-20,22-23). Regarding the study types, one study (15) was a multicenter trial, and the others were single-center trials.…”

“…Among the eight studies that reported postoperative fracture healing times, five studies reported that the fracture healing time was significantly shorter in the minimally invasive percutaneous plates group than in the interlocking intramedullary nailing group (15-16,20),; the other three studies reported no significant differences in fracture healing times (14,17,19). Pooled data showed that the fracture healing time in the minimally invasive percutaneous plates group was significantly shorter than that in the interlocking intramedullary nailing group (standardized mean differences, SMD, -2.31, 95% CI, -3.59 – -1.04, p  = 0.0004).…”

“…Fernandez et al [25] conducted a prospective, randomized study to compare patients with closed, multi-fragmented (comminuted) tibial diaphyseal fractures that were treated with nonreamed interlocking intramedullary nails or bridging plates. They compared similar groups and reported that the clinical and radiological parameters (articular function, deformities, infection, and pseudarthrosis) were similar in both groups.…”
