The extra-articular lateral parapatellar approach is a surgical technique for tibia nailing, especially useful for the semi-extended knee position, leading to excellent control of the tip apex deformity of proximal shaft fractures. This approach employs a lateral incision near the patella to reach the antero-superior tibial angle, preserving the synovial layer and the intra-articular structures. Studies have shown that the extra-articular lateral parapatellar approach offers a superior knee function and minimizes anterior knee pain. Additionally, this approach correlates with a lower rate of painful hemarthrosis during the hospital stay, significantly enhancing patient comfort and recovery quality. The goal of this technical note is to describe in detail the extra-articular parapatellar surgical approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[2769],"tags":[],"affiliation":[],"contributor":[2873,2665,2659,2795,2664],"journalissue":[2992],"class_list":["post-21956","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","category-jo-vol-14-n-3-sep-dec-2022","contributor-e-ghezzi","contributor-g-placella","contributor-m-alessio-mazzola","contributor-s-mosca","contributor-v-salini","journalissue-jo-vol-14-n-3-sep-dec-2022"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR LATERAL EXTRA-ARTICULAR PARAPATELLAR APPROACH FOR TIBIA NAILING: A TECHNICAL NOTE -
