Comparison of Efficacy of Suprapatellar and Infrapatellar Approaches for Intramedullary Interlocking Nailing of Tibia in Patients With Tibial Fracture

The suprapatellar approach results in less blood loss, potentially promoting faster recovery, reduced need for blood transfusions, and shorter hospital stays. It also entails shorter fluoroscopy time and surgical duration, though not statistically significant, which may reduce radiation exposure for the surgical team.

Abstract

The suprapatellar approach results in less blood loss, potentially promoting faster recovery, reduced need for blood transfusions, and shorter hospital stays. It also entails shorter fluoroscopy time and surgical duration, though not statistically significant, which may reduce radiation exposure for the surgical team.
