    AbstractIntramedullary nailing is accepted as the technique of choice for treatment of unstable tibial diaphyseal fractures. Indirect closed reduction must first be obtained to allow passage of the guide wire and reamers. We describe the use of a simple frame that allows precise reduction, control of rotation and easy imaging access, without increasing operating or screening time.
