Abstract

Twenty-two consecutive segmental tibial fractures were treated by Ender nails and early weight bearing. Sixteen fractures were closed and six open. All the fractures healed after an average time of 4 months. No infection was encountered. Slight malalignment of the distal metaphyseal segment occurred in 5 cases, but all of them had full knee and ankle function.
