Abstract
The meta-analysis showed that intramedullary nailing reduced the time of surgery and radiation and the risk of wound complications compared with plate fixation. Furthermore, union time and union complications were common following both treatments. Overall, intramedullary nailing is found to be taken priority for distal tibial metaphyseal fractures. More RCTs are required to support current evidence.
