Abstract
Suprapatellar tibial nailing is an increasingly accepted technique in the management of tibial fractures. It is shown here that amongst surgeons experienced in both suprapatellar and infrapatellar nailing techniques, the suprapatellar approach trends towards lower use of intra-operative fluoroscopy as measured by time and dose and thus potentially lower radiation exposure to the operating surgeon, assistants and patient.
