Abstract
Tibial shaft fractures are one of the most common orthopaedic injuries. Open tibial shaft fractures are relatively common because of the paucity of soft tissue surrounding the bone. Despite the prevalence of these injuries, the optimal fixation strategy is still a topic of debate. The purpose of this article was to review the current literature on open tibial shaft fracture fixation strategies including intramedullary nailing, external fixation, and plating.
