Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to discuss diaphyseal fractures of the tibia treated by intramedullary Küntscher nailing. This is based on 368 cases treated over the last 20 years. Closed intramedullary osteosynthesis favours the healing process, resulting in the early formation of callus which is of good quality and abundant. A careful review of the cases showed a 93.7% incidence of good results.
