Abstract
- The results of 17 fractures of tibial shaft treated with Rush nails under the image intensifier and early weight bearing are reported. Thirteen of these fractures were closed. All fractures were united between 12 and 21 weeks clinically, 17 and 26 weeks radiologically after operation. All cases were healed without significant complications, such as fracture disease. The advantages of this method were as follows; 1) normal knee motion and early weight bearingare possible during healing. 2) There is a relatively rapid restoration of bone continuity. This method of treatment for tibial shaft fractures were indicated as follows; 1. Mid-shaft fracture. 2. Segmental fracture of shaft. 3. Expectation of compression force at fracture surface by weight bearing. 4. Open fracture of shaft.
