Intramedullary nailing of nonarticular proximal tibia fractures can be affected by bone density resulting in loss of stability, fixation, and malalignment in osteopenic bone. This study was designed to quantify the biomechanical effects of augmenting proximal screws with cement in intramedullary nailing of high proximal third tibial fractures.
