District Headquarters Teaching Hospital Sahiwal70 enrolled

Overview

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.

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.
