Description: OTA Abstract 1998The purpose of this investigation was to compare the effects of unreamed nail insertion and limited or standard canal reaming, prior to insertion of an intramedullary nail, on cortical bone porosity and new bone formation.
Conclusions: The technique of limited reaming may be advantageous for the treatment of tibial fractures with a compromised circulation when stabilization with an intramedullary nail is being considered.
