Suprapatellar tibial fracture nailing is associated with lower rate for acute compartment syndrome and the need for fasciotomy compared with the infrapatellar approach

Abstract Background Intramedullary tibial nailing (IMN) is the gold standard for stabilizing tibial shaft fractures. IMN can be performed through an infra- or suprapatellar approach. Purpose The aim of this study is to compare the rate of fasciotomies for acute compartment syndrome between infra- an...
