Abstract

Enders nailing is a good modality of treatment especially because of its cost effectiveness, minimum use of image intensifier and simple technique with short learning curve. Flexible or elastic nails are used in specified fracture situations in tibia. Our study aims to confirm that Ender nails are still useful and can give good results in patients of tibial diaphyseal fracture with proper indication. Concerning the low cost and simple technique we aimed to demonstrate that Ender nails may provide satisfactory results in selected group of diaphyseal fractures of tibia. The aim of the study was to find out the outcome analysis of Enders and other flexible nails in the diaphyseal tibia fractures.
