title: A method of closed intramedullary nailing of the fractured tibia.
abstract: This paper describes a method of closed intramedullary nailing of the tibia, which has now been used in 30 cases, and is simple, quick, and efficient. It requires one additional fitting to the standard orthopaedic table, and the instruments used for an ordinary closed intramedullary nailing of the fractured femur.
