Background: The tibia nailing system is a type of implant used to stabilize a broken tibia bone. It is intended for long bone fracture fixation of tibia fractures, which include transverse, oblique, spiral, segmental, comminuted fractures, open and closed fractures etc. There is different nailing system available each with its own advantages and limitation. The type of system that is used will depends on the severity of the fracture, location of the fracture and the patient individual anatomy. In this study the Tibia Nail was to treat the fracture.
Materials and Methods: Total 14 patients having age ranging from 26-57 years were treated by Tibia nails. Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent Tibia nail fixation having tibial shaft fractures was performed. Clinical evaluation was done for all patients with a mean follow-up of 1.5 years. Radiological images taken at the follow up after surgery were utilised to assess the outcome. VAS Score was used for analysis.
Results: The patients that are included in the current study were available for evaluation after a mean of 12 months of follow-up. Radiological union in all patients were achieved in 6.1-7.2 weeks. Apart from this, the patients stay in clinical hospital for the 12.2 days of mean duration. The result reveals that overall, VAS Score at the final follow up was satisfactory. In addition, the full weight-bearing with low level of pain was reported after 9-12 month of surgery.
Conclusion: The tibia nail is an effective treatment of fractures of the tibia bone.
