Randomized Trial of Reamed and Unreamed Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Shaft Fractures

50 Studies Every Orthopaedic Surgeon Should Know | 2024 | Iris H. Y. Kwok, Peter Bates

Abstract A multicenter randomized controlled trial of 1226 patients with tibial shaft fractures was conducted across 29 centers in Canada, comparing reoperation and complication rates between reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing. It showed that reoperation rates were lower in the reamed group for closed fractures. In open fractures, there was no significant difference bet...
