Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis treatment of distal tibial fractures / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical application and efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) treatment of distal tibial fractures.Method From March 2007 to February 2013,MIPPO technology locking compression plate for the treatment of 49 cases of distal tibial fractures,including 12 cases of open fractures,37 cases of closed fractures involving the articular surface 7 cases,38 cases of fracture reduction and limited open reduction of 11 cases.Results Forty-nine patients were followed up for 6-24 months,an average of 12 months,1 case of a finite complex open reduction and nonunion,and re-open reset grafting healing,2 cases of distal tibial fractures delayed healing.The mean healing time was 4.9 months,press the Johner-Wruhs score,excellent in 42 cases,good in 5 cases,and middle in 2 cases.Excellent rate of 95.9％ (47/49).Conclusion MIPPO technology locking compression plate fixation of distal tibial fracture trauma,can reduce the interference of the blood supply of the fracture,fracture healing rate and reduce the rate of infection,is the ideal treatment of distal tibial fractures.
