Intramedullary nailing in open tibia fractures: a comparison of two techniques

Intramedullary nailing of fractures of the tibia in diabetics.

We reviewed 27 diabetic patients who sustained a tibial fracture treated with a reamed intramedullary nail and compared them with a control group who did not have diabetes. There were 23 closed fractures and four were open. Union was delayed until after six months in 12 of the 23 (52%) diabetic patients with closed fractures and ten of the 23 (43%) control patients (p = 0.768). In two patients ...

Intramedullary interlocking nailing in type II and type III open fractures of tibia – a clinical study

Purpose: Controversies exists between primary nailing and external fixator application as treatment of choice for severely open fractures. This study was conducted to assess the outcome of Intramedullary nailing in compound tibia fracture and evaluate its complication Methods: Between 2006 and 2011 a total of 40 cases of open tibial shaft fractures classified according to Gustillo and Anderson ...

Locked intramedullary nailing of open tibial fractures.

We report the use of Grosse-Kempf reamed intramedullary nailing in the treatment of 41 Gustilo type II and III open tibial fractures. The union times and infection rates were similar to those previously reported for similar fractures treated by external skeletal fixation, but the incidence of malunion was less and fewer required bone grafting. The role of exchange nailing is discussed and a tre...
