Objective: to determine the outcome and comparing the two different modalities of the treatment dynamic compression plating and interlocking nail.
Methodology: Randomized controlled trial was conducted at orthopedic surgery department of Nishter Hospital Multan from January 2019 to January 2020 in one-year duration. Study includes seventy consecutive patients with closed transverse fracture tibia. Patients were divided into two groups (DCP and interlock). Group DCP treated with Dynamic compression platting and interlock with interlock nailing and were assessed clinically and radiologically. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis.
Results: majority of the patients in interlock group was excellent i.e. 54.3%. While, in DCP group the excellent criteria were 22.9%. The difference was statistically significant, (p=0.026). Pearson correlation was also significant, (p=0.003).
Conclusion: Interlocking nails is a better treatment option in patients of transverse tibial fractures as compare to interlocking nailing group regarding excellent, good and poor results on basis of weight bearing, time of union and hospital stay.
