Fraser Orthopaedic Research Society·interventional·Posted Apr 25, 2016·Updated Jan 30, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Infrapatellar Approach and Suprapatellar Approach for Tibial Fractures and Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 248 participants across 6 sites in 2 countries.

Detailed Summary

This study will investigate the incidence and severity of anterior knee pain comparing two different approaches to tibial nail fixation; Infrapatellar versus percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar incisions. Half the patients will be randomized to the gold standard infrapatellar approach with the other half being randomized to treatment with the percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar approach.
