Introduction: Open tibial fractures, usually caused by high-energy trauma, are among the most common long-bone fractures. Clinically, the treatment of open tibial fractures remains a major therapeutic problem for surgeons because of the poor soft-tissue coverage and blood supply in the tibia, with resultant difficulties arising from infection and poor bone healing. In this study, we will assess the results of intramedullary flexible nailing and external fixators in the management of fractures shaft tibia (G.

Quantum-chemical calculations have been performed to evaluate the geometries, bonding nature and harmonic frequencies of the compounds [EUX3] at DFT, DFT-D3, DFT-D3(BJ) and DFT-dDSc levels using different density functionals BP86, BLYP, PBE, revPBE, PW91, TPSS and M06-L. The stretching frequency of UN bond in [NUF3] calculated with DFT/BLYP closely resembles with the experimental value. The performance of different density functionals for accurate UN vibrational frequencies follows the order BLYP>revPBE>BP86>PW91>TPSS>PBE>M06-L.

The performance of metaGGA functionals for the geometries of aminoylyne complexes is better than GGA functionals. Significant dispersion interactions between OH, EC(O) and EH pairs appeared in the dispersion-corrected geometries.
