چکیده
Objective: To compare the outcome (union) between reamed and unreamed nailing in tibial diaphyseal fracture (transverse). Material and methods: This randomized study was carried out in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Nishtar Hospital, Multan from January 2009 to September 2009. Two hundred and ten patients were divided into two groups A and B. Group A patients were managed by reamed interlocking tibial nail and group B patients by unreamed interlocking nail tibia. Follow up was done up to 3 months and outcome union was compared between both groups. Results:Union was achieved in 80% patients of group a while 70% in group B. Conclusion: Our study suggests that there is no significant difference between reamed interlocking tibial nail and unreamed interlocking tibial nail. Although there is trend towards improved union with reamed interlocking nailing

A meta-analysis of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for the treatment of closed tibial fractures.
Controversy exists regarding the clinical outcomes of reamed vs unreamed intramedullary nailing in the treatment of closed tibial fractures. This study assessed the effects of reamed vs unreamed intramedullary nailing for closed tibial fractures.

متن کاملReamed or unreamed nailing for closed tibial fractures. A prospective study in Tscherne C1 fractures.
We performed a prospective, randomised study on 50 patients with Tscherne C1 tibial diaphyseal fractures comparing treatment with reamed and unreamed intramedullary nails. Our results show that reamed nailing is associated with a significantly lower time to union and a reduced requirement for a further operation. Unreamed nailing should not be used in the treatment of the common Tscherne C1 tib...

متن کاملRandomized trial of reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures.
BACKGROUND There remains a compelling biological rationale for both reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing for the treatment of tibial shaft fractures. Previous small trials have left the evidence for either approach inconclusive. We compared reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing with regard to the rates of reoperations and complications in patients with tibial shaft fractures. METHO...
