RESUMO
We present a case of a distal tibial fracture in a pregnant patient treated with an intermedullary device. The risks associated with operative treatment of fractures in pregnancy are discussed. The patient underwent a successful procedure using a novel tibial nail which reduced both operative time and radiation exposure. Surgical intervention allowed the mother to have a normal delivery. The patient had an excellent outcome with no adverse effects reported by either mother or baby.
