1. Fifty tibial fractures treated by intramedullary nailing during seven years have been
presented. There were twenty-eight closed and twenty-two open fractures. 2. The use of the …

Thirty-eight consecutive segmental fractures of the tibia were treated by intramedullary
nailing with the Küntscher-Herzog nail. Twenty-two fractures were closed and sixteen were …

1. A method of medullary nailing of fractures of the shaft of the tibia with a straight clover-leaf
nail of large calibre is described. The nail is introduced, without exposure of the fracture …

During a five-year period, 135 tibial fractures were treated with compression plating. In
thirteen patients a delay in healing occurred owing to a lack of stability. Secondary …

(Kiintscher 1940). The method was widely adopted for a variety of orthopaedic conditions,
but in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures the stability achieved with the original medullary …

Intramedullary nailing of fractures of the tibial shaft, usually by employment of a rigid nail,
has been shown to be an effective procedure, particularly in simple transverse and oblique …

Intramedullary nailing of thirty acute displaced open fractures of the tibia and fibula resulted
in union with only one superficial infection. The low incidence of sepsis is attributed to the …

We treated 112 fractures of the tibia by manipulative reduction, reaming of the medullary
canal, and fixation of the fracture fragments with an intramedullary nail. Seventy-six of the …

The results of 31 fractures of the tibial shaft treated with closed Ender nailing and early
weight-bearing are reported. Twenty-five of these fractures were closed and six open. All …

Fifty open fractures of the tibial shaft that were treated with débridement and interlocking
nailing without reaming were followed for an average of twelve months. Most of the fractures …
