This is a prospective study done on Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Bogra, Bangladesh in Ortho- Surgery department from April 2014 to April 2015.The purpose of this study is to analyze the result of interlocking nailing without the use of an image intensifier. Total 35 patients were operated in this method with minimally open reduction and internal fixation with interlocking intramedullary nail. Ages of the patients were 25 to65 years. Mean union time was 16 weeks, ranging from 12 to20 weeks. We found highest number of patients having fracture in middle third of tibia and most of the injuries caused by RTA. In our study, we had compartment syndrome in 1 patient, lateral popliteal nerve palsy in 1 patient. All patients recovered with conservative treatment. It is, therefore concluded that interlocking intramedullary nailing can be performed under an experienced surgeon without the use of an image intensifier.
