Interlocked nailing is a routine method that yields excellent results even in complex fractures of the lower limb. A series of 25 femoral and 29 tibial fractures is reviewed, and both advantages and technical difficulties are discussed. The authors point out that, in very special cases, interlocking nails may be used together with other methods of internal and external fixation.
