ABSTRACT

Objective To analyse the application effect of intramedullary interlocking nail in the treatment of femoral and tibial fracture,to discuss the key of the mini-invasive operation.Methods 110 cases of femoral and tibial fracture treated by intramedullary nail from May,1997 to Oct,2001 were reviewed,78 cases were treated by mini-invasive open-reduction and internal fixation,32 cases were treated by intermal fixation without open-reduction.Results All cases were followed-up ,15 cases were delayed at the healing time,but all cases were healed in six months.Conclusion The application of intramedullary nail in the treatment of femoral and tibial frature by mini-invasion has advantages of less trauma,strong fixation,high healing rate,early motion can be obtanied ,but the key of the operation must be grasped.
