Interlocking nailing in fractures of distal tibia

Antegrade interlocking nailing for distal femoral fractures.

PURPOSE To assess outcomes of antegrade interlocking nailing for supracondylar or intercondylar fractures of the distal femur. METHODS Records of 10 women and 20 men aged 20 to 70 (mean, 48.7) years who underwent antegrade interlocking nailing for distal femoral fractures were reviewed. 23 patients had closed fractures and 7 had open fractures; 6 had associated fractures of the forearm or tib...

Unreamed interlocking nailing in open fractures of tibia.

PURPOSE To assess the clinical outcome of unreamed intramedullary interlocking nailing in open fractures of tibia, and to evaluate the incidence of complications in these open fractures as a result of the unreamed intramedullary nailing. METHODS Between June 1999 and May 2000, a total of 60 cases of open tibial shaft fractures were operated on with unreamed interlocking nails at Safdarjung Ho...

Minimally Invasive Plate Versus Intramedullary Interlocking Nailing In Distal Third Tibia Fractures

Prospective study of sixty patients with distal tibia fracture who underwent surgical fixation at Sri Ramachandra University between June 2010 -June 2013. Of the 60 patients included in our study 30 underwent closed intramedullary interlocking nail and 30 were treated with plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). Patients were followed up for clinical and radiological evaluation using modified Klernn and B...

Distal third tibia fractures treated with interlocking intramedullary nail

The management of extraarticular fracture of the distal tibia remains controversial. Surgeons are not very keen on using intramedullary interlocking nail for these fractures because of diffi cult nail fi xation, wider medullary canal in the distal tibia and late angulation .The advent of newer nails with locking holes in the distal parts has made nailing possible even in cases of distal tibia f...
