Why Your Hospital Should Switch to a Suprapatellar Nailing System?

 

Tibia fractures are common, and the way they’re treated directly affects recovery. Traditionally, infrapatellar nailing has been the standard, but it often causes knee pain, malalignment, and slower rehabilitation. Suprapatellar nailing solves many of these issues by allowing surgery with the leg extended, ensuring better alignment, less anterior knee pain, and faster mobilization. Patients benefit with shorter hospital stays and quicker returns to daily life, while surgeons gain ergonomic comfort and smoother workflows. Though training and investment are needed, the payoff is significant—better outcomes, fewer complications, and higher satisfaction. For modern hospitals, suprapatellar nailing is the future standard.
