المستخلص: Introduction: Gunshot injuries are major problems worldwide that have a great impact on health budget and economy. Extremities are the most frequently involved sites in gunshot injuries, lower limbs being more involved as compared to upper limbs. The management of these injuries is challenging and has wide range of methods, initiated from non-operative ‘low technique’ splinting through external fixation to internal fixation with locked intramedullary nails. The benefits of internal fixation are rapid mobilization, immediate pain relief, accelerated rehabilitation, and maintenance of independent living. Objectives: To evaluate short term outcome of immediate interlocking nail of war-related traumatic lower limb fracture in Taiz Yemen. Patients and methods: Observational retrospective study that collected from files and medical records with planned questionnaire and analyzed by used SPSS. Results: the most patient was male with 95% and mean age was 29.40 ± 11.120 years. Gunshot injury was the most common mechanism in 88% of patients. We found the femur fracture higher than tibia and class IIIA was the highest frequency of injury. Vascular and nerve injuries represented as associated injury with IMN fixation with 11.1% and 13.3%, respectively. While 2.2% was the percent of complication to each infection, bleeding, and DVT among patients with IMN fixation. Conclusion: Treatment of lower limb war related fractures must be individualized according to Gustilo-Anderson grade injuries in order to achieve a favorable outcome. Intramedullary nailing is an effective treatment strategy with minimal complications.
