Abstract		Intramedullary nails are being increasingly used for the stabilization of the tibial fractures. With the development of the locking mechanism their application possibilities have expanded from the stabilization of diaphyseal fractures to stabilization of methaphyseal fractures and even simple joint fractures. For good stability proximal and distal locking screws have to be fastened firmly into end bone fragments. As a rule reamed intramedullary nails are used except when soft tissue injuries are associated and stabilization with nonreamed nail is performed.
