OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of intramedullar nailing of the tibia using a suprapatellar (SP) approach with respect to pain and function of the knee.
DESIGN: Prospective clinical investigation.
SETTING: Academic level I trauma center.
PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-one patients with tibial shaft fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association 42A-B-C) with a minimum of 12-month follow-up.
INTERVENTION: Locked intramedullary nailing using a SP approach.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Radiographic evaluation for nail position proximally, tibial shaft alignment and union, anterior knee pain using the visual analog scale, and knee function evaluation using the Lysholm and SF-36 scores. Examination of intra-articular damage was performed using intraoperative patellofemoral arthroscopy before and after nail insertion.
RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 35.4 ± 12.4 years (range, 18-63 years), and the mean follow-up period was 15.62 ± 3.2 months (range, 12-21 months). The visual analog scale score for anterior knee pain was a mean of 1.0 ± 1.3 (range, 0-4). The SF-36 physical score was mean 45.1 ± 9, and the SF-36 mental score was a mean of 51.7 ± 9.9. The knee joint range of movement was measured as 133.1 ± 87 degrees on the affected extremity side and 134.05 ± 8.4 degrees on the unaffected side. The mean Lysholm knee score was 95.76 ± 4. No intra-articular pathology was seen on arthroscopy after nail insertion.
CONCLUSIONS: The SP approach for intramedullar nailing for tibial shaft fractures was not associated with either anterior knee pain or functional limitations of the knee in our series.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
