Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| IMN will be associated with shorter operative time, lesser soft tissue trauma, lower infection rates, and faster return to function in some cases. Plating may show better anatomical reduction, especially in complex or comminuted fractures, with slightly faster radiological union.Timepoint: 3 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| IMN will be associated with lower infection rates, & faster return to function in some cases. Plating may show better anatomical reduction, especially in complex or comminuted fractures, with slightly faster radiological union in certain subgroups. Timepoint: 6 months | — |
