title: [Osteosynthesis with elastic nailing for treatment of tibial fracture].
abstract: Results of treatment of 163 tibial fractures in 47 females and 116 males aged 15-76 operated with closed elastic intramedullary osteosynthesis are presented. A bundle of universal intramedullary nails preshaped depending on fracture pattern served for osteosynthesis in 144 closed fractures, 18 open fractures of first degree and 1 second degree open fracture. In all cases but one fracture healed. Late results were assessed in 70 cases. There were 46 good results, 23 fair and 1 poor result. Simple surgical technique, good stability, stimulating of bone healing by compression and minor risk of infection constitute advantages of this method.
