Conditions

Transverse Fracture of Shaft of Tibia

Brief summary

Study aims to compare two treatment modalities for treatment of transverse fractures of tibia. One is Intramedullary interlocking nail and the other is dynamic compression plate.

Detailed description

This study is a comparison of two devices used to teat transverse fractures of tibia and these include intra medullary rod popularly known as intra medullary nail and the second is a weight bearing device know as dynamic compression plate which is fixed with screws to diaphyseal segment of bone.

Interventions

DEVICEDCP

1. Dynamic compression plating to compress the fracture 2. Intramedullary device to share the load.
