The purpose of this study is to determine which surgical approach is better for treatment of tibial shaft fracture
Tibial fracture is more common fracture. We aimed to compare unreamed intramedullary nailing (UTN) and dynamic compression plate (DCP) with regard to fracture healing and complications in patients with closed tibial shaft fractures.

| Dynamic Compression Plate | Procedure | we made a longitudinal incision 1 cm lateral to the tibial crest, expose the fracture, and retract the muscles laterally. After determining the length of plate, we used bending instruments to contour the plate to the anatomy then threaded plate holders used to position the plate on the bone. After that we placed the drill guide at the edge of the dynamic compression unit (DCU) portion of the plate hole without applying pressure and tightening of the cortex screws results in dynamic compression. We verified the screw position with a guide wire before insertion and then inserted the locking screw. |

| Unreamed intramedullary nailing | Procedure | we inserted the nail, without reaming, across the fracture site, with particular attention being paid to the prevention of over distraction and the achievement of cortical contact of the fracture ends. An upper diameter limit of 10 mm and a nail measuring at least 2 mm less than the diameter measured at the isthmus of the tibia on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were stipulated. |
