Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Grosse Kempf interlocking intramedullary nailing (Grosse Kempf IIN) and AO plate in the treatment of tibial fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis was done on the recovery of 55 cases with tibial fractures treated with the Grosse Kempf IIN (Group A) and 40 treated with AO plate (Group B) from 1994. Results The 10 26 months follow up showed that the healing rate and the infection rate were 98.2% (54/55) and 1.8% (1/55) respectively in the Group A with a mean healing time for 5.6 months and 90.0% (36/40) and 12.5% (5/40) respectively in the Group B with a mean healing time for 7.5 months. Conclusions The Grosse Kempf IIN has obvious advantage of excellent biodynamics, reliable fixation, simple operation, less trauma on regional blood supply and is more effective in the treatment of tibial fractures than the AO plate. Nevertheless, I IN itself has limitation for further application.
