Abstract

Intramedullary nailing is the “gold standard” for the treatment of shaft tibia fractures. It provides high rates of bone healing associated to low infection rates, and gives high stability for a safe limb motion.

We analyze advantages and complications of locked reamed intramedullary nailing in our experience in treating shaft tibia fractures.
