Abstract: The combination of plate and intramedullary nailing has been established as the treatment of proximal tibial fractures. Nevertheless, at the distal end of the tibia, the application of the plate-assisted intramedullary nailing is rarely applied as a therapeutic technique. This technical note demonstrates the use of the reduction plating technique for nail insertion as the management of distal tibia fractures.<br />Competing Interests: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.<br /> (© Copyright 2024, Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, All Rights Reserved.)
