“…These results were comparable to the many previous studies. [21,22] The total union rate for this study was 93.75%, with the comparable mean union time. Drosos et al corrected 157 in-tramedullary nail fractures and showed a 97.5% overall union rate and average union time 25.8 weeks.…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of reamed interlocking nail in the management of closed tibal shaft fractures. Study Design: Descriptive/ Observational study Place and Duration: Study was conducted in Orthopaedic Unit Ayub Medical Teaching Institute Abbottabad and DHQ Teaching Hospital Gomal Medical College Dera Ismail Khan for nine months duration from January 2019 to September 2019. Methods: Total 80 patients of both genders were presented in this study. Age ranges of enrolled cases were 20-70 years. Demographically details of enrolled cases were recorded after taking written consent. Patients who had tibial shaft fractures were admitted in emergency ward and underwent for reamed interlocking nail. Postoperatively union time and rate of complications were assessed. Complete follow up of the patients were take place in duration of 14-months. Data was analyzed by SPSS 20.0 version. Results: Mean age of the patients was 28.65±8.77 years with mean BMI 24.16±6.23 kg/m2. Out of 80 patients, 47 (58.6%) were males and 33 (41.4%) were females. Traffic accident was the most common cause of fracture found in 60 (75%) cases, followed by fall from the height 15 (18.75%) and the rest were others 5 (6.25%). Mean united time of simple fractures were 13.14±4.14 weeks while among segmental fractures union time observed 18.13±6.17 weeks. Frequency of union fractures was 62 (77.5%), delayed unions were 13 (16.25%) and non-unions were 5 (6.25%). Satisfaction rate was 72 (90%) among all cases. Conclusion: We concluded in this study that reamed interlocking nail was an effective and safest method for the management of closed tibal shaft fractures. Overall union rate in this study was 93.75% and showed less morbidity among cases. Keywords: Interlocking nail, Tibial shaft fractures, Union

“…Among the fractures described by Middendorp et al (2011), transverse fractures (48 percent), oblique fractures (42 percent), spiral fractures (6 percent), and segmental fractures (4 percent) were the most common [12]. Tibial fractures were the most prevalent kind of fracture in this series, occurring in the middle third (64.74 percent) and upper third (19.42 percent), followed by the lower third (15.82 percent) [13].…”

Introduction: The purpose of this research was to present our hospital results in union of fracture Tibia managed with close intramedullary interlocking nail. Methods: This research was carried out at Liaquat University of Medical and Health Science Jamshoro Pakistan from June 2020 to June 2021. A total of 250 patients with a closed tibial shaft fracture were recruited from the emergency room and outpatient clinics for this study. Our study's clinical outcomes were categorized as union, nonunion, delayed union, or malunion based on the criteria. All of the patients were given anesthesia, either general or spinal. All of the patients were tracked for a period of nine months. Results: In 90–150 days, about 88 percent (220/250) of patients had union, with a mean of 110.68. Union occurred in 11.2 percent (28/250) of patients in 95–109 days, with a mean of 103.38. There were 7.2 percent (18/250) delayed unions and 4.8 percent (12/250) non unions treated with dynamization and bone transplant. The outcomes were outstanding in 88 percent (220/250) of the patients and good in 7.2 percent (18/250). Our patients all had full range of motion in their knees and ankles at the time of their examination. Conclusion: We found that this approach is beneficial due to early mobilization (early weightbearing), reduced complexity, good outcomes, and low cost.
