No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will investigate the incidence and severity of anterior knee pain comparing two different approaches to tibial nail fixation; Infrapatellar versus percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar incisions. Half the patients will be randomized to the gold standard infrapatellar approach with the other half being randomized to treatment with the percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar approach.

Conditions

  • Tibial Fractures
  • Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Infrapatellar approach using the surgeon's incision of choice (i.e. patellar tendon split, tendon retraction medial, tendon retraction lateral)

PROCEDURE
