title: Technical considerations in the surgical management of tibial fractures.
abstract: The surgical treatment of tibial shaft fractures is generally successful. However, significant controversy exists regarding the indications for specific types of fixation and the techniques used to apply them. Advances to meet the technical challenges of tibial fracture fixation continue to be made, and orthopaedic surgeons should have these new techniques at their disposal for application to each individual patient's injury.
