Abstract
The combination of plate and intramedullary nailing has been established as the treatment of proximal tibial fractures. Nevertheless, at the distal end of the tibia, the application of the plate-assisted intramedullary nailing is rarely applied as a therapeutic technique. This technical note demonstrates the use of the reduction plating technique for nail insertion as the management of distal tibia fractures.
