Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Tibial shaft fractures of tibia are most common due to increase in road traffic accidents and fall from height. Presently the intramedullary Interlocking is the surgical treatment of choice for the closed and type 1, 2 and 3A fractures. Here I conducted a study for the management of tibial shaft fractures using intramendullary interlocking. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty cases of closed, type1, 2 and 3A open fractures of tibia were managed with intramedullary interlocking nail between March 2010 and April 2014. And post operatively followed at 6, 12, 24 weeks and results were evaluated using Johner and Wruh’s criteria. RESULTS: We achieved 76.67% excellent, 15% good and 8.33% fair results. CONCLUSION: Intramedullary interlocking nail is an excellent method for closed, type1, 2 and 3A open fractures of tibia. This has excellent functional outcome.
