Computerised searches were performed on PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, CNKI and Wanfang databases from the inception of each library to August 2023. All published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing IMN with IFP for the treatment of patients with distal tibial fractures were selected. Literature screening, data extraction and literature evaluation were independently completed by two researchers. Data analysis was performed using the Review Manager 5.4 software. Overall, 25 RCTs with a total of 2011 patients were finally included, comprised by 1009 patients in the IMN group and 1002 patients in the IFP group. The rate of wound infection was significantly lower in the IMN group than that in the IFP group (5.05% vs. 9.58%, odds ratio [OR]: 0.52, 95% confidence intervals [CIs]: 0.37\u20130.73, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Meanwhile, the IMN group had a significantly higher rate of joint pain than that of the IFP group (14.57% vs. 2.90%, OR: 4.93, 95% CIs: 3.02\u20138.03, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001), whereas the difference between the two surgical procedures in terms of operative time was not statistically significant (standardised mean differences: 0.08 95% CIs: \u22120.58\u20130.74, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.82). Current clinical evidence suggests that both IMN and IFP are excellent treatments for distal tibial fractures. Although IMN is better in reducing postoperative wound infection, the risk of postoperative pain is higher. Thus, an appropriate surgical procedure should be selected in clinical practice in accordance with the actual situation of the patient, and IFP is used to reduce the incidence of postoperative joint pain when the anterior tibial soft tissue of the distal tibial fracture is in good condition, and vice versa. IMN is used to reduce the risk of infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14479","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]],"date-time":"2023-11-22T13:35:05Z","timestamp":1700660105000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["RETRACTED:
