Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to perform a high-quality randomized control trial comparing intramedullary tibial nail fixation with standard design nails to a micromotion tibial nail device, to evaluate the rates of union and post-operative outcomes.

Conditions

• Tibial Fractures

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	micromotion intramedullary nail cohort	use of at least 2 distal interlocking screws and the use of a minimum of 1 proximal tibial interlocking screw
PROCEDURE	standard intramedullary nail cohort	use of at least 2 distal interlocking screws and the use of a minimum of 1 proximal interlocking screw
