Prospective Comparison of Nailing and Plating for Distal Tibia Fractures: A Comprehensive Analysis
Dr. D Mehar Chand Naik, Dr. N Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, Dr. Md Zakir Hussain Arshad
Abstract: Distal tibia fractures present a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons, with ongoing debate surrounding the optimal fixation method. This ongoing prospective randomized controlled trial investigates the comparative effectiveness of nailing and plating for these fractures. We hypothesize shorter injury - surgery interval and reduced blood loss for nailing, but similar outcomes in operative time, union time, and final AOFAS score. This robustly designed study aims to inform evidence - based decisions in managing these fractures, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
