Analysis of cases of distal tibial fracture managed with MIPPO technique

Abstract

Background: Fracture of this bone is challenge for orthopedic surgeon as there is less muscular covering the bone. This leads to complications such as non- union, delayed union or dehiscence. The present study was conducted to assess the cases of distal tibial fractures in study population. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 128 cases of both genders reported to the department. All cases were managed with minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO). All were recalled regularly. Routine X-rays were taken such as AP view and lateral view to see outcome of the treatment. American orthopedics foot and ankle score (AOFAS) ankle-hind foot scale was used for assessing the results. Scores such as excellent (90-100), good (75-89), fair (50-74) and poor
