Analysis of proximal plating versus intramedullary nailing in the treatment of extra-articular proximal tibial fracture: A randomized prospective study
The current study concluded that there was no noteworthy difference between the two techniques in relation to surgical duration, rate of infection, and frequency of malunion and non-union. However, IMN is better than minimally invasive plating in terms of the duration of hospital stay, speed of union, and early full weight bearing.
