  • Title: Tibial fracture during removal of a tibial intramedullary nail.
    Author: Jones DH, Schmeling G.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 1999 May; 13(4):271-3. PubMed ID: 10342353.
    Abstract:
    As tibial intramedullary nailing becomes the preferred treatment for tibial shaft fracture, removal of tibial nails will become more common. Removal of tibial intramedullary nails is not without complications, but a review of the literature found only one recent report of a fracture of the tibia during removal. A case report of a tibial fracture during removal of an Alta tibial nail is presented.
