Intramedullary Interlocking Nail in Distal One Third Tibia Fracture: A Retrospective Study in Tertiary Care Center

Abstract

are placed at first followed by distal interlocking screw. Mechanism of injury, age, sex, union time, foot function index, secondary procedure, complications, deformities are analyzed in the study. RESULTS: All patients were retrospectively analyzed. We could not find any significant relation between post operative malalignment and better foot function index (p = 0.975). Early union may not improve overall foot function index (p = 0.202). Automobile accident is the commonest mode of injury (48.5%) followed by automobile pediastrian (39.4%). Postoperative malalignment consist of cornal (3%), saggital (3%) and shortening (3%). Infection is one of the commonest complication found in our study (6.1%).
