  Abstract   Background: The tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long   bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. In accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia   fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures.   The purpose of the study was to asses...
