Letter to the Editor: Comparison of suprapatellar versus infrapatellar approaches of intramedullary nailing for distal tibia fractures

In the “Methods” section, the authors described the ideal entry point for tibial nailing of the SP approach as being “in the intersection of tibial midline and tibial plateau articular surface,” with this point being shown in Figure 2 of their article. [...]other authoritative studies have previously stated that the ideal entry point is instead located “medial to the lateral tibial spine on the anteroposterior radiograph and immediately adjacent and anterior to the articular surface as visualized on the lateral radiograph” [2, 3].
