Intramedullary nailing is considered to be the optimum treatment for fractures of the long bones of the lower limbs and various studies have been published describing the functional outcome of both reamed and unreamed nailing.[1][1]–[15][2] Several complications have been described including

Closed fractures of the tibial shaft in adults
Primary rigid intramedullary nailing for fractures of the tibia: current concepts and technique
TLDR
This paper addresses several important issues relating to the concepts of the procedure and review the literature available: reaming of the intramedullary cavity; the problems of achieving stability with metaphyseal fractures; achieving fracture reduction; the issue of the ideal entry point; the complications that can occur; and the timing of surgery.
Knee Pain After Intramedullary Nailing of Tibia Fractures: Prevalence, Etiology, and Treatment.
TLDR
Careful attention to appropriate starting point and implant selection combined with more recently described semiextended nailing techniques may aid in prevention of knee pain.
Fractures of the tibial shaft in adults
[Current treatment strategies for lower leg fractures in adults].
TLDR
The suprapatellar approach, representing an interesting alternative to the popular infrapatellAR approach, postoperative complications, such as anterior knee pain as well as the management of non-unions are discussed in this article.

TLDR
A step-by-step run through of the surgical technique is described, including positioning of the patient, and there has been no increased frequency of intraarticular damage.
Techniques for the surgical treatment of distal tibia fractures.
Tibial and Fibular Fracture
TLDR
This chapter will cover the anatomy of the leg, the classification of tibial shaft fractures, patient evaluation, treatment modalities, common complications, and isolated fibular fractures.
Advances in Intramedullary Nailing: Suprapatellar Nailing of Tibial Shaft Fractures in the Semiextended Position.
TLDR
Preliminary investigations have suggested that this technique is associated with a low rate of complications, including a reduced incidence of postoperative anterior knee pain, and further clinical investigations are necessary to establish overall complication rates and long-term subjective outcomes.

Outcome after intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures
TLDR
This study examines a consecutive group of patients treated at a major metropolitan trauma centre and reports on the injury statistics and outcome data, and compares this to previously reported results from the literature.
Locked intramedullary nailing for displaced tibial shaft fractures.
TLDR
The authors analysed the results of 93 tibial shaft fractures treated with the Grosse-Kempf locked nail and found that there were only two poor results.

TLDR
It is suggested that closed intramedullary nailing with an interlocking nail system is an excellent method of treating closed and type I open tibial fractures.

TLDR
Closed intramedullary nailing is a safe and effective method for the treatment of distal metaphyseal tibial fractures and the authors propose a new classification.
