Complications of Proximate Third Tibial Fractures

Proximate third tibia fractures account for approximately ten percent of all bio fractures. Super pateller nailing is advantageous for these more proximate fractures, as it facilitates the fracture reduction through the semi extended position of the knee. Blocking screws placed in the metafacial segment on the concave side of the deformity. Use of provisional uni cortical plates, semi extended position for nailing and universal distractors.
