Introduction: Segmental tibial fracture is characterized, as a distinguished kind of fracture type. They are portrayed by at least, two distinctive fracture lines, with a totally separate, inter-calary osseous section, either with intact cortical tubular or as a comminuted segment. AO type 42 C1 and C2 fractures of the tibia are generally, brought about by a high-
velocity RTA. They have a high “taux de” of complications. AO type 42 C1 and C2 tibial fractures are considered, as a discrete clinico-surgical bone trauma and are in deep contrast, with the other variants of tibial fractures.
Aim: To analyze the functional outcome of Gustillo- Anderson open type II and type III Tibial Diaphyseal fractures of AO Type 42C1 and 42C2; that were surgically intervened upon.
Materials and Methods: 62 adult patients in the age bracket of 26-55 years having Gustillo-Anderson open type II and type III Tibial Diaphyseal fractures of AO Type 42C1 and 42C2, were surgically intervened in the form of reamed IMIL nailing.
Results: We achieved 62.36% Excellent, 13.98% Good, 15.05% Fair and 4.84% Poor outcomes calculated by the mean of mean scores of Johner AND Wruhs Criteria, Modified Knee Society Score, Yokoyama Criteria scores.
Conclusion: This study concludes that Gustillo- Anderson open type II and type III Tibial Diaphyseal fractures of AO Type 42C1 and 42C2 can be managed satisfactorily with IMIL nailing without the need of external fixator application, provided appropriate soft tissue coverage is given at the appropriate time.
