Alho A. Ekeland A. Stromsoe K. Folleras G. Thoresen BO. Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery - Br. [JC:hk7] 72(5):805-9,1990 Sep. We analysed the results of 93 tibial shaft fractures treated with the Grosse-Kempf locked nail. Twenty-six fractures were comminuted, 19 were open grade I to II, and 54 were located outside the middle third of the tibia. The deep infection rate was 3.2%. There were only two poor results. The use of this method is recommended and discussed.
