The ideal form of fixation for displaced, extra-articular
fractures of the distal tibia remains controversial. In the UK, open
reduction and internal fixation with locking-plates and intramedullary
nailing are the two most common forms of treatment. Both techniques
provide reliable fixation but both are associated with specific
complications. There is little information regarding the functional
recovery following either procedure. We performed a randomised pilot trial to determine the functional
outcome of 24 adult patients treated with either a locking-plate
(n = 12) or an intramedullary nailing (n = 12). At six months, there
was an adjusted difference of 13 points in the Disability Rating
Index in favour of the intramedullary nail. However, this was not
statistically significant in this pilot trial (p = 0.498). A total
of seven patients required further surgery in the locking-plate
group and one in the intramedullary nail group. This study suggests that there may be clinically relevant, functional
differences in patients treated with nail versus locking-plate
fixation for
