Abstract:37.8% of tibia fractures occur in the distal tibial region. Due to the poor soft tissue envelope and precarious blood supply in the distal tibial region, there is a very high incidence of complications like non-union, delayed union and wound dehiscence, with increased secondary procedure rate especially after implant failure. Literature review shows that there is no optimal treatment (implant) for the management of these fractures. Nailing provides lesser chances of wound dehiscence but fails in providing adeq… Show more
