Abstract

Of all compound fracture sites, the tibial shaft accounts for 63% of all fractures. The best way to treat a compound tibia fracture is still up for debate; available alternatives include closed reduction and cast immobilization, open reduction and fixation using a plate or external fixation, or closed reduction using intramedullary nailing. This investigation involved 24 patients with compound tibia fractures treated at the orthopaedic department of a Tertiary Care Hospital with unreamed interlocking solid tibia nailing. Every case was recent and primarily distressing in nature. Following surgical preparedness, every case was operated as soon as possible. All cases were followed up on for at least 9 months and the functional outcome was evaluated using Johner and Wruh's criteria. When complex fractures of the tibia were treated with unreamed solid tibia nailing, 58.33% of cases had outstanding outcomes, 24.78% had good outcomes, 8.33% had fair outcomes and 8.33% had bad outcomes. In total, 91.33% of the patients demonstrated union within nine months, with a complete range of motion and prompt mobilization. According to the results of our study, unreamed solid tibia nailing is a good alternative for early fixation with the advantages of few complications, a high rate of union and early mobilisation.
