Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Infrapatellar Approach in tibia intramedullary nailing  In this approach of intramedullary nailing of tibial diaphyseal fracture is done by infrapatellar approach that refers to giving incision from inferior pole of patella to tibial tuberosity. 
Comparator Agent  NA  NA 
Intervention  Suprapatellar Approach in tibia intramedullary nailing  In this approach of intramedullary nailing of tibial diaphyseal fracture is done by suprapatellar approach that refers to giving incision above superior pole patella.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Several studies including recent meta-analysis demonstrated that suprapatellar approach may be superior to the infrapatellar approach in many aspects like easier reduction, decreased fluoroscopy time, less anterior knee pain. This study is done to compare the results of intramedullary nailing of tibial diaphyseal fractures by suprapatellar and infrapatellar approaches in terms of Operative Time, Radiographic Alignment, anterior knee pain, fracture union, functional outcomes and complications.
