    Aseptic non-union is a major problem following complicated fracture tibia, which carries significant morbidity and prolonged course of treatment. Plate fixation and autogenous bone grafting has been established as a method of treatment. However the risk of infection, implant failure and donor site morbidity are high. We reviewed twelve consecutive cases of established non-union tibia treated by closed reamed interlocking nail in our centre. All patients had clinical and radiological union at three months. Three patients were complicated with infection and one required removal of implant and re-reaming to eradicate infection. Reamed interlocking nailing is an alternative treatment for selected non-union of fracture tibia with promising results.
