Twenty-two cases of segmental tibial shaft fractures were reviewed and we analyzed the results of surgical treatement in the viewpoint of bony union times, complication and its final outcome. The range of follow-up was 12 months to 68 months with mean 38 months follow-up. Most of the patients were between forty and sixty years, and average age was 47 years.
