Summary

Tibial shaft fracture is a common injury worldwide. Their treatment, prognosis, and outcome are determined by the mechanism of injury, presence of communition, soft tissue injury and displacement. In developing countries, lack of education,socioeconomic backgrounds, delay in presentation and appropriate planning for surgery add further to complicate the situation and may end in delayed union, non-union, multiple surgeries and ultimate results in increased morbidity.
