Although open reduction and internal fixation with a plate and screw device is commonly performed for these injuries, the risk of soft tissue complications using this approach is significant. Staged treatment protocols and alternative means of fixation have been proposed to address these undesired events. Although potentially more technically demanding than fixation of diaphyseal or extraarticular tibial fractures, intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation of simple intraarticular distal tibia fractures is a viable treatment alternative with unique advantages. This article presents a review of the literature and rationale for intramedullary tibial nail fixation of simple intraarticular distal tibia fractures and a surgical approach commonly utilized for successful implementation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/bot.0000000000000697","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,22]],"date-time":"2016-10-22T11:53:44Z","timestamp":1477137224000},"page":"S12-S16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Intramedullary Tibial Nail Fixation of Simple Intraarticular Distal Tibia Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"John A.","family":"Scolaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California, Irvine, Orange, CA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francis H.","family":"Broghammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine, Orange, CA; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Derek J.","family":"Donegan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1692","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-008-0224-5","article-title":"High association of posterior malleolus fractures with spiral distal tibial fractures","volume":"466","author":"Boraiah","year":"2008","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res."},{"key":"R2-20230828","first-page":"163","article-title":"Results of a computed tomography protocol evaluating distal third tibial shaft fractures to assess noncontiguous malleolar fractures","volume":"71","author":"Purnell","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Trauma."},{"key":"R3-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"781","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.77B5.7559711","article-title":"Distal metaphyseal fractures of the tibia with minimal involvement of the ankle.
