Abstract

Background and objectives: Tibial shaft factures is one of the common fractures due to motor vehicle accidents. However, there is controversy in the treatment of aforesaid fractures. In this study we assessed the effect of Enders nailing in the treatment of these fractures. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive and cross - sectional study. Fifty-eight patient (41 male and 17 female) with a mean age of 37/24±13/25 years and 64 tibial shaft fractures were treated at shohada hospital between 2000 and 2003, with 2- 4 enders nailing. Results: thirty-four (47%) of fractures were close and therty (47%) of them were open. forty-eight (75%) united radiologically at 4.5 month, 11(17%) at 4-8 month, 5 (7.8%) not united after 8 month. Six (3/9%) patients had less than 10° malunion and 5 (7/8%) had infection .five (7/8%) patients had soft tissue irritation at the proximal tibia due to protruding Ender nails. Conclusion: Enders nailing of tibial shaft fractures especially with non segmental comminution ones is an acceptable technique in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures.
