Intracompartmental pressures of 66 patients with 67 tibial fractures treated by intramedullary nailing were monitored. There was no difference in the pressures recorded between the different Tscherne fracture types, between open and closed fractures, between low energy and high energy injuries or between fractures dealt with early and those not treated until more than 24 hours after injury. The overall incidence of acute compartment syndrome was 1.5%. No patient developed any sequelae of compartment syndrome. We conclude that intramedullary nailing does not increase the incidence of acute compartment syndrome in tibial fractures and that delay does not reduce the risk of raised compartment pressures.

Intramedullary locking nails have proved to be of considerable advantage when treating complex, comminuted or segmental femoral shaft fractures. We have reviewed 117 patients with 120 femoral shaft fractures treated with the Strasbourg device. These included 20 compound fractures, 13 pathological fractures and two non-unions. Rehabilitation and union rates have been very satisfactory and there have been no serious infections in the series. Comminution of the proximal femur has occurred in six patients and there have been three femoral neck fractures, but all of these have healed without further complications.

A method of stabilising spondylolisthesis using Dwyer instrumentation is described and the results in seven patients are presented. The operation is straightforward, has few complications and also succeeds in reducing the angle of slip.

A retrospective study of 200 cases of subcapital fracture of the neck of the femur treated by sliding nail-plate fixation has been carried out. Failure of fixation within three months occurred in forty-two cases (21 per cent). These failures could, in part, be attributed to a combination of the severity of the fracture and various imperfections in technique. The age of the patient and the angle of the nail-plate had no significant effect on the result.
