NCT01047826

Brief Summary

The investigators are comparing two methods of standard treatments in distal tibial fractures. locked plating (M.I.P.O. technique) with intramedullary nailing. the investigators are hypothesizing that M.I.P.O group is superior to nailing in fractures of the distal third of the tibia.
