Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of tibial fractures is one of the most common orthopaedic trauma procedures. This video provides a comprehensive back table and Mayo stand setup for an ORIF including instrumentation arrangement, integration of fluoroscopic imaging equipment, and preparation for the initial count with a circulator or other licensed professional. This setup enhances surgical efficiency, minimizes contamination risk, and promotes patient safety.
