Comparative study on functional and clinical outcomes of distal shaft of tibia fractures treated with suprapatellar and infrapatellar nailing

Introduction: Suprapatellar (SP)-nailing versus infrapatellar (IP)-nailing for distal shaft tibia fractures and post-operative complications like anterior knee pain sequelae such as malalignment, retropatellar chondropathy infection, well physical functioning quality of life were the primary objectives this study.Methods: Department Orthopaedics is conducting a study on topic. Group A (16 cases) underwent Supra Patellar Nail Fixation, while B (14 Infra Fixation in 30 patients with Distal Shaft Tibia Fractures.Results: Analyses patient performed. Anterior occurred 25% after SPN 35% IPN, 5% malalignment rate following IPN. Complications infection retro patellar not significantly different between two groups, neither was functionality or postoperative life.Conclusions: Patients who (group A) had much lower rates than those IPN B), according to study. In terms rates, functioning, overall health, found no significant difference. The surgeon's expertise should play major role determining best course action.
