Abstract
The majority of lower extremity fractures, or 17% of all long bone fractures, are tibial fractures. Additionally, 5‐10% of all tibial shaft fractures involve the proximal third of the tibia. Patients with clinically and radiologically confirmed proximal and distal metaphyseal fractures of tibia and were eligible for the study according to the above mentioned eligibility criteria were included in the study after informed consent from the patient. After carrying out necessary laboratory investigations and obtaining physical fitness for surgery, the subjects were surgical managed with expert tibial nailing through supra patellar approach. In the study, majority of the subjects belonged to the age group of 31‐45 years (53.3%). The next common age group was 46‐60 years (26.7%). The mean age of the subjects was 42.83±11.47 years. In the study, majority of the cases were distal tibial fractures (60.0%), while remaining 40.0% cases were proximal tibial fractures.
