Ethan Gilkinson, Ben Murphy, Niall McGoldrick, John Quinlan

Abstract

Tibial shaft fractures (TSFs) are a frequent presentation within orthopaedics following a high-energy trauma. The appropriate management of these fractures is crucial, ensuring patients have the best chance at achieving a functional recovery. In spite of the vast number of studies conducted on TSFs, the quality of scientific evidence and various trends related to this injury remain poor. The aim of our analysis is to identify these trends within the 50 most cited publications pertaining to TSFs.
