Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 03/21/07
Strauss, Eric J MD, et al. - Conclusion: This study demonstrated that, in the treatment of distal metaphyseal tibia fractures, locked plates provided more stable fixation than intramedullary nails in vertical loading but were less effective in cantilever bending. An intact fibula in the presence of a distal tibia fracture improved the fracture fixation stability for both treatment methods
