They constitute on average about 1% of all fractures, and up 8% in patients over 65 years, be caused by both high- low-energy trauma. Unlike younger subjects, treatment tibial the elderly is univocal depends patient’s functional needs, bone quality systemic comorbidities. In this retrospective study, 49 with a mean age 72 years, who underwent surgical fracture, were assessed Rasmussen’s clinical radiological grading systems. Clinical radiographic outcomes satisfactory 75.5 59.1% cases, respectively.
