Bridge Plating of Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal Fracture by Limited Open Technique. Journal of orthopaedic trauma Pulley, B. R., Gardner, M. J. 2019; 33 Suppl 1: S34–S35

Abstract

In this video, we demonstrate application of a bridge plate by limited open technique for fixation of a proximal tibial metaphyseal fracture. Although intramedullary nailing remains our preferred surgical technique for treatment of most extra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia, we find bridge plating by limited open technique to be an important alternative option for select fracture patterns not amenable to intramedullary nailing.
