A Prospective Study on Tibial Shaft Fractures Treated with Suprapatellar Approach

Tibial diaphysis represents the primary location for tibial fractures, accounting for 80% of such cases, often accompanied by fibular fractures. In terms of surgical management, the recommended technique for addressing both displaced and undisplaced tibial shaft fractures in adults is intramedullary nail fixation. Additionally, there is a growing consideration for suprapatellar nailing, which involves performing the procedure with the knee in a semi-extended position, as a potentially safe and efficacious alternative.
