Abstract

Between 1981 and 1988, 314 tibials shaft fractures were treated in Orthopaedic and Trumatology Department of Ege University, Medical Faculty. 46 of them underwent closed intramedullary nailing with reaming. Infection was observed in one patient with decubitis problem, when early operation was performed mandatory. The period of healing according to our evaluation in between the date of the operation and the time when the patients becomes ambulatory. The average time to heaIing was 20 weeks. Rotation and angulation deformity, malunion and nonunion were not observed in the 21 patients who were evaluated in for the last control. There is no universally accepted method of management of tibial shaft fractures. Closed intramedullary tibial nailing with reaming incorporated many advantages of nonoperative therapy with increased stability of intemal fıxation. This technique allows early wight bearing.
