Video Information
Mr Steve Mitchell presents the topic of treatment of distal tibial fractures, discussing the pros and cons of nailing, and the alternatives of plating, framing and plaster.
He recognises the technical challenges with IM nailing, such as reduction of fracture prior to nailing, but summises that in many cases, with good technique, optimal results can be achieved with IM nailing.
