Comparison of Healing Measures Tibial Fractures Following Standard Intramedullary Nailing or Micromotion Tibial Intramedullary Nailing
Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham
Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to perform a high-quality randomized control trial comparing intramedullary tibial nail fixation with standard design nails to a micromotion tibial nail device, to evaluate the rates of union and post-operative outcomes.
