Abstract
The management of fractures of shaft tibia has always been a challenge to the Orthopaedic surgeons. The significant increase in the number of cases is noted due to increase in incidence of high velocity road traffic accidents resulting in fractures of shaft tibia in young adults. Various modalities of internal and external fixation have been tried to get the best possible results but no single method has given best results.Out of the various modalities primary interlocking nailing has minimal damage to the soft tissues. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the management of the fractures of shaft tibia by primary interlocking nailing .In our study 30 adult patients were treated with primary interlocking nailing in between May 2012 to June 2013. The post operative results were assisted with help of JohnerandWruh ’ s criteria. At the mean follow up of 14 months post operatively,there were 30% excellent,40%good results,13.33%poorresults.None of them developed osteomyelitis
