    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der unaufgebohrte Tibiamarknagel (UTN) vereinigt die Vorteile des Fixateur externe mit denen des Marknagels in der Behandlung der Unterschenkelfraktur [5]. In der Zeit von März 1992 bis März 1993 wurden 33 Frakturen (31 geschlossene and 2 offene) mit dem UTN stabilisiert. In 67% (22 Patienten) bestanden A1-, A2- and A3-Brüche gemäß der AO-Klassifikation. Sechsmal lag eine Mitbeteiligung des oberen Sprunggelenks vor. 27 Personen konnten durchschnittlich 6 Monate postoperativ nachuntersucht werden; 26 erzielten ein ausgezeichnetes klinisches Ergebnis. Die mittlere Konsolidierungszeit lag bei 12 bis 14 Wochen.
    Notes: Abstract The unreamed tibial nail (UTN) combines the advantages of the external fixator (preservation of the cortical blood supply) with that of conventional intramedullary nailing (closed system, high patient comfort, no pin problems) in the treatment of the lower leg fracture [5]. Within 1 year (III/92 to III/93) 31 closed and 2 open fractures were stabilised with UTN. In 67% (22 persons) we found fractures of the A1, A2 and A3 types according to the AO classification. In 6 patients there was a combined lesion with involvement of the ankle joint. A follow-up of 27 patients was done, extending to an average of 6 months postoperatively. The clinical and radiological results were excellent in 26; average fracture healing time was about 12–14 weeks.
