Over the last hundred years, there have been significant advancements in the way the Orthopaedic community treats tibial fractures. More recently, the focus of Orthopaedic trauma surgeons has been comparing the different techniques of insertion for tibial nails, specifically suprapatellar (SPTN) versus infrapatellar. The existing literature is convincing that there does not appear to be any clinically significant differences between suprapatellar and infrapatellar tibial nailing, with some apparent benefits of SPTN. Based on the current body of literature and our personal experience with SPTN, we believe the suprapatellar tibial nail will become the future for most tibial nailing procedures, regardless of fracture pattern. We have seen evidence of improved alignment in both proximal and distal fracture patterns, decreased radiation exposure and operative time, relaxation of the deforming forces, ease of imaging, and static positioning of the leg, which would be helpful for the unassisted surgeon, as well as no difference in anterior knee pain or articular damage within the knee between the two techniques.
