NCT ID: NCT03891888 Recruiting - Tibial Fractures Clinical Trials

Intramedullary Bone Grafting for Open Tibial Shaft Fractures

Start date: March 26, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will examine if there is a difference between the time to full union between the control group and the study group. Each group will be composed of patients who have an open fracture in the mid tibia. Both groups will undergo primary fixation via reamed intramedulary nailing (IMN), a common treatment for tibia shaft fractures in adults. The study group will have a bone graft applied to the open cortex of the fracture. The bone graft will be composed of the intramedullary reamings, which are a byproduct produced when the intramedullary canal is reamed in preparation for insertion of the IMN.
