Abstract
Among all the fractures in the body, tibia is the single largest bone that is commonly involved in injuries. Owing to increase in vehicular accidents and industrial mishaps, high velocity trauma produces tibial fractures in increasing numbers. Fractures of distal tibia are critical because the tibial bone in lower end is subcutaneous with minimal muscle cover and with precarious blood supply, which makes fracture in this part of the tibia prone for many complications like wound dehiscence, infections, delayed union, malunion and ankle 1 stiffness following surgery or conservative management .
