Abstract

An intramedullary nail is a common and reliable treatment option for diaphyseal tibial fractures. One such approach for this technique is suprapatellar. This video shows the surgical technique of a tibial nail through a suprapatellar approach in a semi-extended position in a 22-year-old man with a distal third tibial shaft fracture.
