- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Far Cortical Locking (FCL) technique reduces stiffness to the extent that it is conducive for symmetrical healing in Bilateral cortex without compromising strength of the Construct as compared to the conventional methods of fixation which would be validated in the Indian scenario by this study.Timepoint: 1 year and 6 months
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method ess rigid construct with early callus formationTimepoint: 6 months
