A 35-year-old woman sustained a closed midshaft tibial fracture with mild comminution. She underwent operative fixation with a reamed, statically locked, intramedullary nail. Radiographs were obtained (A) after closed reduction in the emergency room, (B) immediately postoperative, and (C) 3 months after surgery.
