Research design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Selection criteria: Patients over 18 years old, with a simple closed tibial shaft fracture (or with a fibula fracture) due to trauma, without severe deformity in the knee or ankle joints (knee flexion over 900), with enough information according to the form Researched medical records, postoperative follow-up period > 6 months.

Results: +/ Soon results: all cases had immediate healing, no post-operative complications; Results of fracture reduction according to the standards of Larson and Bostman: very good accounts for 90%, good accounts for 10%, there are no average or poor cases. +/ Late results: Bone healing results according to the standards of JL Haas and JY De La Cafinière: very good 92.5%, good bone healing 7.5%. Normal knee movement accounts for 97.5%, flexion restriction < 200 accounts for 2.5%. Scoliosis of limbs 5 – 100 accounts for 5%. The functional recovery results were very good in 92.5% and good in 7.5%, with no average or poor cases. Conclusion: Bone fusion surgery method using SIGN nail without opening the fracture, assisted by C-Arm is an effective and safe treatment method for tibial shaft fractures in adults.
