ANNEXURE – I
6.1 NEED FOR STUDY
With the increasing number of vehicles on roads in India, Complex trauma cases caused by Road Traffic Accidents have increased progressively being subcutaneous in location, the tibia is the commonest bone to be fractured and seen commonly in orthopaedic practice. Due to its frequency, topography and mode of injury it has become a major source of temporary disability and morbidity.
The major goal in the treatment of fracture tibia is achieving functionally useful and stable extremity. Yet, the spectrum of injuries to tibia is so great that no single method of treatment is applicable to all the fractures.
Now-a-days the well laid principle of biological osteosynthesis is rightly applied in long bone fracture healing and hence the selection of closed intramedullary interlocking nailing in this study.
ANNEXURE – II
6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Intramedullary fixation of fractures of long bone was one of the modes of treatment
since a very long time.
G Gerhard Kuntscher developed his V-shaped a cover leaf nails in 1930. Herzog
modified the straight Kuntscher’s nail to accommodate the eccentric proximal
portal. Some authors proposed reaming of medullary canal to improve the fit of the
nail and increase its rotational control and strength. In 1950 Lottes developed a rigid
nail that could be inserted without reaming using an open or closed technique1.
In 1958, Kuntscher opined that intramedullary nailing represents the ideal treatment
of fractures and requires no external fixation or special post operative care2.
Kessler SB Hallefeldt et al (1986) published articles, stating that fractures of tibia
can be treated successfully with inter locking nailing.3
Watson JT (1994) concluded from a review of literature that unstable closed
and type-I open Fractures are preferably treated with intramedullary nailing with or
without reaming.
In grade-II and IIIA fractures, rate of union and rate of infection is similar in
reamed and unreamed intramedullary nails, but secondary surgery may be needed in
reamed nailing4.
In 1995, Paul Gregory and Roy Sanders proposed that interlocked intramedullary
nailing inserted in unreamed manner has become the treatment of choice for the
closed, unstable Tibial shaft fractures in polytraumatised patients in the author’s
institution. A high union rate, coupled with a lack of compartment syndromes or
peroneal palsy, makes this procedure an attractive and alternative to reamed nailing5.
In 1995, Gregory proposed that infection after unreamed nailing had fewer
complications and a higher success rate of infection controlled than reamed nailing6.
In 1998, A Daudel-Gascia et al, concluded that non -reamed flexible locking nailing
provides effective control of axial and rotational stability7.
Hernigou P et al (2000) in a report on proximal entry for intramedullary nailing of
tibia, concluded that it is important to enter the medullary canal at the right point, so
that nail is introduced in line with the axis of the tibia in both the coronal and
sagittal planes. If the entry Point is low, posterior tibia is endangered, if high, then,
unrecognized articular penetration can occur injuring the menisci and ligamentum
transversum.
The unrecognized articular penetration was seen commonly and this caused
anterior knee pain. The safe zone is anterior to the ligamentum transversum and
anterior to the anterior horn of each meniscus. In some bones the safe zone is
smaller than the size of the standard reamers and the proximal part of some nails8.
In December 2004, Joshi et al proposed that the current trend of management of gustillo type I, II and III A open fractures of tibia present to emergency department within six to eight hours is to perform unreamed intramedullary nailing. Unreamed nailing in experimental studies has to be found to cause less reduction in cortical circulation as compared to reaming of medullary canal. Reaming of open fractures has been found to spread the contamination from open wound along the medullary cavity. Reaming has also been reported to slow the Re-vascularization and delay osseous union9.
Vineet Jain et al (2005) concluded that primary unreamed intramedullary nailing
offers advantage of rigid fixation, low incidence of infection, non-union, good
functional results and early return to work. An adequate soft tissue management is
mandatory in treatment of these fractures10.

6.3 OBJECTIVES
➢ To assess and study diaphyseal fractures of tibia with special reference to fracture anatomy, pattern and status of stability.
➢ To study fracture healing and the union rates with intramedullary interlocking nail.
➢ To study the functional outcome with regard to knee, ankle and subtalar joint movements.
➢ To prevent angulation, deformity to maintain limb length equality.
➢ To mobilize the patients as early as possible.

7.1 SOURCE OF DATA
Patients of both the sexes belonging to the adult age group i.e. after fusion of epiphysis presenting with diaphyseal fractures of tibia to orthopaedic department in Al-Ameen Medical College & Hospital, Bijapur from July 2012 to June 2014
7.2 METHODS OF COLLECTION OF DATA [INCLUDING SAMPLING PROCEDURE IF ANY]
All cases of both the sexes belonging to adult age group presenting with fracture tibia to orthopedic department of Al-Ameen medical college and hospital, Bijapur satisfying the inclusion criteria and are surgically fit.
THE INCLUSION CRITERIA
1. Transverse and short oblique fractures.
2. Segmental fractures of shaft of the tibia.
3. Communited fractures of the shaft of the tibia.
4. Grade I [Gustillo Anderson] compound fractures.
5. Polytrauma cases where early mobilization of patient is indicated.
THE EXCLUSION CRITERIA
1. Fractures in children.
2. Grade II and III [Gustillo Anderson] compound fractures.
3. Fractures with intraarticular extensions.
4. Burns/Wounds over the entry portal.
5. Patients not fit and not willing for surgery.
This study will be conducted on a minimum of twenty patients. If need be, the number of cases will be increased depending on patient input during the course of the study.
Period of study: Two years i.e.; July 2012 –June 2014.
Period of follow-up: 6 to 12 months
Method of treatment: After stabilization and subsequent investigations, under spinal/General anesthesia we will adopt a technique of closed reduction and internal fixation with intramedullary interlocking nail. If need arises, a small incision will be made over fracture site to align bones.

“YES” this study requires surgical intervention to be conducted on humans.
a) X-ray standard antero-posterior and lateral views of tibia.
b) Other investigations as deemed necessary.
