This study is looking at two different types of intramedullary nails (IMNs) used to fix unstable tibial fractures (broken shin bones). You would receive either a standard IMN or a micromotion IMN, which is designed to allow tiny movements at the fracture site that might help with healing. Researchers want to see if the micromotion IMN leads to better healing rates after surgery, specifically by comparing how well the bones unite (join together) at six months. To join, you must be 18 or older with an unstable tibial fracture that needs surgery. This study aims to understand which type of nail works best to improve patient care.
