Selection Methods in the Treatment of Diaphyseal Tibial

Fractures of the lower leg or the tibia itself, accompanied by fractures of the radius at typical sites are the most common type of fractures [1]. They occur at any age, more frequently in young people. Fractures that are considered tibial diaphyseal fractures are those that occur between the knee and ankle joint. We distinguish fractures of the upper, medial and lower thirds of the tibia [2]. A fracture occurs through direct and indirect application of force. Direct fractures are usually transverse, slightly oblique or comminuted, while indirect ones are torsional rotational fractures. A fracture can easily turn into an open one due to the direct contact of the tibia with the skin.
