Study of Tibial Shaft Fracture Fixation: Intramedullary Nailing Comparing With Dynamic Compression Plate
Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- Tibial Shaft Fracture
- Interventions
- Procedure: Unreamed intramedullary nailingProcedure: Dynamic Compression Plate
- Registration Number
- NCT01190709
- Lead Sponsor
- Isfahan University of Medical Sciences
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine which surgical approach is better for treatment of tibial shaft fracture
- Detailed Description
Tibial fracture is more common fracture. We aimed to compare unreamed intramedullary nailing (UTN) and dynamic compression plate (DCP) with regard to fracture healing and complications in patients with closed tibial shaft fractures.
