Image data from a mid-tibia pQCT scan of each subject were assessed regionally within eight sectors distributed about the cortex and aligned by the anterior tibial crest. We used a repeated measures ...

After a hemostat is employed to access bone, a blunt obturator and corresponding sheath are placed onto the bone cortex. The proximal tibial ridge, adjacent to the epiphyseal scar, can be palpated.

All tibial fractures with less than 25% cortical continuity accounted for all 27 reoperations we identified in our sample. The presence of a transverse fracture was the only variable to approach ...
