Tibia & Intramedullary Nailing (Expert Tibia Nail)

The tibia is the largest bone in the lower leg and plays a vital role in supporting body weight. It is also the most common site of long bone fractures. A tibial fracture refers to any break or crack in the tibia, which together with the fibula forms the lower leg.

Importance of the Tibia:

 Largest bone in the lower leg.

 Bears the majority of body weight.

 Plays a key role in the knee and ankle joints.

Tibial fractures are often associated with injuries to adjacent muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues.

Intramedullary Nailing – Modern Fixation Technique

One of the most common techniques for treating tibial fractures is the use of an intramedullary nail. This metal rod is inserted into the medullary canal of the tibia and secured with multiple screws from the outside, providing stable fixation.

Intramedullary nails are widely used for long bone fractures such as the femur, tibia, and humerus.

Advantages of Tibial Nails:

 Minimally invasive technique with smaller incisions.

 Reduced surgical complications and quicker recovery.

 Facilitates bone healing and alignment.

 Effective for proximal, shaft, and distal fractures.
