Brief Summary  

Tibia shaft fractures are due to the high-end energy trauma and more common long bone to get fractured, approximately 2% of all fractures in adult. Presently reamed Intramedullary nailing of the tibia with additional interlocking screws for the axial and rotational stability is preferred for unstable tibia shaft fracture.

Traditionally, an infrapatellar port between the articular surface of the knee and tibial tubercle, lateral to tibial tubercle is practiced. This approach requires cutting or splitting of the patellar tendon and sometimes there is transection of the infrapatellar nerve, a branch of the saphenous nerve during the procedure. This iatrogenic damage leads to anterior knee pain in few patients (10 to 80%). Also, due to the quadriceps extensor complex pull, the conical shape of tibial metaphysis, and hyperflexion positioning intraoperatively, any angulated entry to the tibia during nailing leads to malalignment and difficulty to maintain reduction for imaging.

To overcome these challenges, a novel entry port in a semi-extended knee at a flexion of 15-20 degrees was proposed. This new Suprapatellar approach of tibial Intramedullary Interlocking Nailing (IMILN) allows easy reduction, lesser fluoroscopy time, decreased malalignment, and reduces the anterior knee pain with equivalent functional outcome.

There are a few studies that show the superiority of Suprapatellar Approach (SPA) vs Infrapatellar Approach (IPA). These are majorly western literature and extensive research on the Indian population is lacking. Hence a study to further declutter in the Indian setup is required.
