Abstract
The simplest and most generally applicable techniqune of medullary nailing is open reduction with retrograde insertion of the nail. Callus formation was unimpaired and the fracture united in all but two of ninety cases; in seventeen of these previous attempts at fixation had been unsuccessful. Disability is greatly reduced and the patients undergo less pain and fewer complications than when treated by other methods.
