Intramedullary interlocking nailing is the gold standard for treatment of tibial shaft fractures.The growing use of intramedullary nailing has resulted in an increased number of tibial nailing in daily clinical practice.Despite adequate surgeon experience,tibial nailing is not without complications if proper techniques are not followed.A case of iatrogenic talar neck and medial malleolus fractures during intramedullary nailing of tibia in a 24-year-old male is reported.It is believed to be caused by forceful hammering of insertion zig with foot dorsiflexed.To the best of our knowledge,no such case has been reported in the literature.It is possible to reduce the risk of this complication by adoption of preventive measures.
