A CLINICAL STUDY ON SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF TIBIA SHAFT FRACTURES BY INTRAMEDULLARY INTERLOCKING NAIL

Operative Management of Fractures Shaft Tibia with Closed Intramedullary Interlocking Nail

Tibial diaphyseal fractures are one of the commonest long bone fractures encountered by most of the orthopaedic surgeons. There are many methods of treatment for tibial diaphyseal fractures. But now-a-days closed intramedullary interlocking nailing is emerging as treatment of choice for all closed tibial diaphyseal fractures, most of type Iand type II open fractures in adults. Closed IM IL nail...

Distal third tibia fractures treated with interlocking intramedullary nail

The management of extraarticular fracture of the distal tibia remains controversial. Surgeons are not very keen on using intramedullary interlocking nail for these fractures because of diffi cult nail fi xation, wider medullary canal in the distal tibia and late angulation .The advent of newer nails with locking holes in the distal parts has made nailing possible even in cases of distal tibia f...

Management of open fractures of shaft of tibia in adults using interlocking intramedullary nailing

Management of Humeral Shaft Fractures With Intramedullary Interlocking Nail Versus Locking Compression Plate.

Surgical fixation of humeral shaft fractures generally involves plating or nailing. It is unclear whether one method is more effective than the other. The aim of this study was to compare the results of the intramedullary nail and locking compression plate for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. A total of 60 patients with humeral shaft fractures were randomized to undergo surgery with an...

Safe surgical technique: intramedullary nail fixation of tibial shaft fractures

Statically locked, reamed intramedullary nailing remains the standard treatment for displaced tibial shaft fractures. Establishing an appropriate starting point is a crucial part of the surgical procedure. Recently, suprapatellar nailing in the semi-extended position has been suggested as a safe and effective surgical technique. Numerous reduction techiques are available to achieve an anatomic ...
