A retrospective investigation on clinical and radiographic outcomes of distal tibial fractures after intramedullary nailing using the lateral parapatellar extra-articular approach

Introduction According to reports, the modified extra-articular parapatellar approach allows the performance of tibial nailing in the semi-extended position without the concern of joint violation. However, there remains no special study that has provided a detailed assessment of the benefits and ris...

description Introduction According to reports, the modified extra-articular parapatellar approach allows the performance of tibial nailing in the semi-extended position without the concern of joint violation. However, there remains no special study that has provided a detailed assessment of the benefits and risks of this approach for treating distal tibial fractures (DTFs). The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with DTFs after intramedullary nailing using a lateral parapatellar extra-articular (LPE) approach in comparison to using the suprapatellar (SP) and transpatellar (TP) approaches. Methods Data were collected from 99 patients with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months. Comparisons were conducted between the groups regarding the number of intraoperative fluoroscopies, complications, knee pain, knee range of motion (ROM), the Lysholm Knee Scale (LKS), the Olerud-Molander Ankle Score (OMAS) and radiological findings. Results The demographic characteristics were comparable between the groups. Fewer intraoperative fluoroscopies were performed in the LPE (27.47 ± 4.98) and SP (26.03 ± 5.12) groups than in the TP group (30.20 ± 7.42; P

Fewer intraoperative fluoroscopies were performed in the LPE (27.47 ± 4.98) and SP (26.03 ± 5.12) groups than in the TP group (30.20 ± 7.42; P &lt;0.001). When compared with the other two approaches, the LPE approach was associated with less knee pain ( P &lt;0.001) and better knee ROM ( P &lt;0.001) at one week postoperative. No significant intergroup differences were detected in the incidence of complications, LKS scores ( P  = 0.687) and OMAS ( P  = 0.926). Radiological findings demonstrated that postoperative tibial alignment ( P  = 0.853), the time of bony union and rate of non-union were similar between the groups. Conclusion The LPE approach can serve as a safe and effective option for tibial nailing, as it offers favourable outcomes in knee pain relief and knee ROM in the early postoperative period and is equivalent to the other two approaches in terms of the incidence of complications, fracture healing, functional recovery and postoperative alignment for patients with DTFs.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1434-3916</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 0936-8051</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1434-3916</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05344-z</identifier><identifier>PMID: 38653838</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg</publisher><subject>Adult ; Aged ; Female ; Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary - adverse effects ; Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary - methods ; Humans ; Knee ; Knee Joint - diagnostic imaging ; Knee Joint - surgery ; Male ; Medicine ; Medicine &amp; Public Health ; Middle Aged ; Orthopaedic Surgery ; Orthopedics ; Patella - diagnostic imaging ; Patella - injuries ; Patella - surgery ; Radiography ; Range of Motion, Articular ; Retrospective Studies ; Tibial Fractures - diagnostic imaging ; Tibial Fractures - surgery ; Treatment Outcome</subject><ispartof>Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024-05, Vol.144 (5), p.2101-2108</ispartof><rights>The Author(s) 2024</rights><rights>2024.
