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.
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.
