This is a prospective study done on SZMCH in the Ortho-Surgery department from 1st January 2014 to 31st March 2015. A total of 66 cases of femoral shaft, half (33) treated with Kuntcher nail and half (33) treated with Interlocking nail. Most of the fracture were due to RTA. Out of 66 patient 45 were male and 15 were female. Age of the patients were 20 years to 60 years. Mean time of union was 14 weeks ranging from 12 to 15 weeks in interlocking nail and 17 weeks ranging from 15 to 19 weeks in k. nail. Functional outcome was excellent in 19 patients, good in 8 patients, fair in 5 patients and poor in 1 patient in Interlocking intramedullary nailing and excellent in17 patients, good in 9 patients, fair in 5 patients and poor in 2 patients in kuntcher nail. So Interlocking intramedullary nail is a good option for the treatment of fracture shaft of femur.
