Unreamed interlocked nailing of tibial shaft fractures

ABSTRACT

Prospective study was done on 94 closed and type I open tibial fractures. For all non-reamed AO interlocking tibial nails were applied, 47 of which were initially dynamic and the other 47 were static and dynamized later. It was concluded that closed non-reamed locked intra-medullary nailing is an excellent method of treating closed and type I open fractures having high union rate, low complication rate with early return of function
