One hundred seventy five closed crural shafts fractures have been analysed. They have been classified depending on the location and shape of the fracture line. Clinical and radiological assessment were taken into consideration. The best final results have been achieved in fractures of middle third of the tibia and in fractures of transverse fracture line. The disturbances of bone union most often occurred between middle and distal third of the tibia and transverse fractures.
