A comparative biomechanical study of the Distal Tibia Nail against compression plating for the osteosynthesis of supramalleolar corrective osteotomies

The Distal Tibia Nail (DTN; Mizuho, Japan) has demonstrated higher biomechanical stiffness to locking plates in previous research for A3 distal tibia fractures. It is here investigated as a fixation ...
