Tanna’s Interlocking Nailing is an orthopedic reference book that has seen a significant update in its 5th edition. The book addresses the dramatic changes in the management of long bone fractures in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly India, over the last two decades. It emphasizes the shift from open surgeries to closed intramedullary interlocking nailing as the mainstay treatment for long bone fractures. The book is structured to serve as a quick reference for both budding and well-established surgeons, providing principles, techniques, and tips for dealing with difficult fractures and nailing procedures. It covers a wide range of topics, including the introduction to interlocking nailing, specific techniques for tibia and femur fractures, complications associated with nailing and locking, and new developments in the field. The book is intended for orthopedic surgeons as its primary readership.
