Distal Tibial Fracture

This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare two surgical methods for treating distal tibial metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction fractures in adolescents aged 10 to 16 years. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either elastic stable intramedullary nailing supplemented by Kirschner wires or plate fixation. The study will compare fracture healing, radiological alignment, time to full weight-bearing, functional outcomes, and treatment-related complications. Participants will be followed at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery.

This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of an intelligent fracture reduction robot system in treating extra-articular distal tibial fractures. Traditional manual bone setting depends heavily on a surgeon's experience, which can sometimes lead to inconsistent alignment and increased radiation exposure. This clinical trial compares robot-assisted closed reduction against the traditional surgeon-led method. The primary goal is to determine if the robotic system improves the rate of accurate fracture alignment (excellent and good reduction rate) and helps patients recover better.
