DOI: 10.1093/bjs/znab202.057
Abstract: Definitive treatment of distal extra-articular fractures of the tibia is challenging and both minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and intramedullary nailing (IMN) are considered feasible surgical modalities with their own implant-specific merits and demerits. This… read more here.
