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 …

For a long time intramedullary nailing has been used in the treatment of shaft fractures. In
1950, Kuntscher (1962) introduced reaming of the medullary cavity prior to insertion 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 …

Intramedullary nailing was introduced by Künt-scher in 1940 for the treatment of closed trans-
verse or slightly oblique factures involving the midshaft of long bones (9). In 1950, the …

This paper describes a method of closed intramedullary nailing of the tibia, which has now
been used in 30 cases, and is simple, quick, and efficient. It requires one additional fitting to …

Method. The only equipment required is a standard operating table with detachable leg
piece, a Watson-Jones frame, and a lithotomy stirrup. The patient is initially positioned …

The technique and results of treating 57 selected open tibial shaft fractures by intramedullary
nailing are reviewed. All but three of the the fractures were located in the middle third of the …

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 …
