Focal dome osteotomy for the correction of tibial deformity in children. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B. 14(5):340-346, September 2005. Dilawaiz Nadeem, R.; Quick, Thomas J.; Eastwood, Deborah M. Abstract: Tibial deformity in childhood often combines torsional and angular malalignment. A focal dome osteotomy was performed, proximally or distally, in 39 tibiae...

Wheeless IM naling of these fractures is technically difficult and often results in malalignment; surgeons without strong enthusiasm for nailing these fractures should consider lateral plating (for closed fractures)and external fixation for open fractures

18th Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association New-generation tibial nails incorporate multiple holes in different planes in order to maximize options for interlocking and allow nailing of fractures near the proximal and distal ends of the tibia. Russell Weisz, MD,[25] from Tampa General Hospital in Tampa, Florida, presented "Distal Fourth...

Many proximal metaphyseal tibial fractures will become malaligned even if a lateral entry point is used. Malalignment in proximal tibial fractures is due to the use of improper nail entry sites and poor nail-to-bone contact in the metaphysis. The use of screws inserted in the sagittal plane that contact the... Expert
