Study type | Observational |
The goal of this project is to determine the incidence of intra-articular knee pathology following tibial shaft fractures as evaluated by intraoperative knee aspiration and physical exam, and to evaluate for chondral injuries following treatment with a suprapatellar tibial nail via MRI.

Primary | Consequences of suprapatellar tibial nailing | During follow up visits, subjects will be given the Olerud-Molander questionnaire to complete. The data from that form will be analyzed for each visit. | One year | |
Secondary | Incidences of intra-articular knee pathology | Post-operative radiographs will be analyzed during each visit per standard of care. | One year. | |
Secondary | Functional assessment | The functional assessment/progress of the patient will be noted at each follow up visit. | One year |
