AsiaÔøΩPacific, particularly India, has seen a dramatic change in the management of long bone fractures in the last two decades. Closed intramedullary interlocking nailing has come to mainstay for long bone fractures. Especially, the horrendous results of tibia shaft fractures following plate fixation, then infection, and then exposed shining hardware smiling at us are almost unheard of now. Those huge incisions for reducing shaft femur fractures are a story long gone by. TannaÔøΩs Interlocking Nailing laid down the principles, techniques, and tips-to-be followed for not only young budding surgeons, but also well-established surgeons as a point of quick reference before embarking on the journey of difficult fractures and nailing. The book is meant for young orthopedic surgeons for their tips during surgery, for more experienced surgeons for their reference, and also for those who want to start considering the nailing for their clinical scenario.
