Song SJ et al. – The appropriate insertion point for a tibial nail was the slightly medial aspect of the LTS. However, it led to the point with a broad range, increasing the necessity to take individual variations into consideration.

During tibia IM nailing, it would be useful if the location we suggest is confirmed through C-arm first, taking caution against rotation of the lower limbs and the point through which the anatomical axis of the tibia passes the tibial plateau is measured to identify the relative location to the medial and lateral tibial spine and determine the insertion point.
