Health Condition 1: null- Fractures of lower limb
Conditions
Interventions
Intervention1: Far cortical locking: Far Cortical Locking (FCL) has been introduced in which the reduced mid-shaft diameter provides unicortical fixation at the far cortex without being rigidly fixed

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Far Cortical Locking (FCL) technique reduces stiffness to the extent that it is conducive for symmetrical healing in Bilateral cortex without compromising strength of the Construct as compared to the conventional methods of fixation which would be validated in the Indian scenario by this study.Timepoint: 1 year and 6 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Less rigid construct with early callus formationTimepoint: 6 months | — |
