Conservative Versus Intramedullary Nailing for Pediatric Tibial Shaft Fractures

Sponsor: Turku University Hospital

Summary

Tibial shaft fracture is a common fracture in the pediatric and adolescent population. The outcomes of both conservative and operative treatment are not clear and to date there is no randomized prospective trial comparing different methods of treatment. The investigators will conduct a multicenter, randomized non-inferiority trial comparing closed reduction and cast immobilization to intramedullary nailing in 6-15 year old children and adolescents with displaced tibial shaft fractures and open proximal tibial physis.
