An observational study in Tibial Fractures and Malleolar Fractures, sponsored by University of Utah. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 95 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-07-09.

Currently, the treatment of choice for tibial fracture is intramedullary nailing. This procedure has been shown to have low rates of infection, high rates of bone healing, and a faster return to weight bearing and activity in comparison to conservative treatment. In concurrent fractures of the posterior or medial malleolus and the tibia, it is now common to identify, reduce, and fix the malleolar fracture prior to intramedullary nailing of the tibia. In this retrospective study, our aim is to establish that reducing malleolar fractures prior to tibial nailing is a safe treatment in which the reduction of the malleolus is maintained intraoperatively, postoperatively, and remains reduced until the fracture has healed.
2,261 studies on the registry are indexed under Fractures, Bone; 325 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 90 is close to the median of 100 across 675 observational studies indexed under Fractures, Bone.

Malleolar involvement in tibial fracture
Currently the treatment of choice for tibial fracture is intramedullary nailing. This procedure has been shown to have low rates of infection, high rates of bone healing, and a faster return to weight bearing and activity in comparison to conservative treatment.
