Abstract :
Tibial shaft fractures are the most common long bone fractures owing to increase in vehicular and industrial accidents. Various treatment modalities are used in the management of this fracture which include conservative management with cast to intramedullary fixation to external fixation. We have studied outcome of total 40(30 male and 10 female) patients with fracture shaft of tibia operated with either Ender nailing or Interlock Nailing. All patients with average 36 months of follow up were assessed clinically and radiologically to compare results of Ender Nailing and Interlock Nailing. Union occurs in mean period of 10 weeks with 70% excellent and 25% good result in case of ender nailing while in interlock nailing union occurs in average period of 14 weeks with excellent result in 85% and good result in 15% of the patients. We concluded that neither Ender Nail nor Interlocking Nail proved to be superior to the other in the treatment of complex unstable Tibial shaft fracture.
