The aim of this prospective study is to analyse the functional and radiological outcome of tibial fractures treated by intramedullary nailing through supra patellar approach.15 patients with tibial fractures were operated by intramedullary nailing through suprapatellar approach. Oxford knee scoring system was done to evaluate the functional outcome. Serial radiographs were taken to assess the fracture union at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Fifteen patients (male 11 female 4) with fracture both bones leg i Results : ncluded in our study. The most common cause was motor vehicle accidents (9 cases), self limiting fall (4 cases), assault (2 cases). The mean age was 45 years. All fractures united at a mean period of 3.5 months. To conclude, Suprapatellar tibial nailing has the benets of decreased operating time, good ouroscopy visualisation, minimal blood loss and ability to achieve and maintain good reduction throughout the procedure.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> After the advent of titanium elastic nails (TENs) and gratifying results of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in diaphyseal fractures of paediatric long bones, not only the parents of patients are opting surgical treatment over conservative, but also more and more orthopaedicians are offering ESIN with TENs to obviate the inherent problems of conservative treatment. We took up this study to evaluate the functional outcome of ESIN with TENs<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 44 patients aged 5-15 years suffering from diaphyseal fractures of femur, tibia, humerus, and forearm bones were treated by ESIN with TENs.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> All 44 patients showed uneventful union, femur in an average period of 8.3 weeks, tibia in 7.3 weeks, forearm bones within 7 weeks and humerus in 7.5 weeks. Commonest complication was pain at insertion site. 1 femur patient had lengthening of 1.5 cm. 1 femur and 1 forearm patient showed joint stiffness. No patient had delayed/non-union, sagittal/coronal/rotational mal-union, and deep infection. Partial weight bearing (PWB) started from 2<sup>nd</sup>/3<sup>rd</sup> day attaining full weight bearing (FWB) in 6-10 weeks<span lang="EN-IN">. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> ESIN with TENs appears logical and safe to obviate the inherent problems of conservative treatment, as ESIN is least invasive and allows early PWB/FWB leading to early independence of personal hygiene/toilet use with early social integration/return to school<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

Median Nerve Palsy

Monteggia fractures are rare in children, and subtle radial head dislocations, with minor plastic deformation of the ulna, may be missed in up to a third of cases. Complications of Monteggia fractures-dislocations include persistent radial head dislocation, forearm deformity, elbow stiffness, and nerve palsies at the time of presentation. An unusual case of median nerve palsy following elastic stable intramedullary nailing of a type I Monteggia lesion in a 6-year-old girl is presented, and we highlight that, although most nerve palsies associated with a Monteggia fracture-dislocations are treated expectantly in children, early intervention here probably provided the best outcome.
