Group I utilized nails, whereas group II used closed. Post-operative radiological surgical results evaluated for union, non-union, delayed union. Calculated infection prevalence both Flynn's criterion assessed functional results. SPSS 24.0 analyzed all data. Results: In operation time higher as compared p value <0.004. Closed union 17.3±6.51 weeks 27.8±6.20 weeks. 51 (94.4%) unions, 45 (83.3%). 12 (22.2%) unions while 5 (9.3%). nail performed better than approach <0.03. fewer complications (p <0.02).
