Summary
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) effectively treats extra-articular distal tibial fractures. This technique offers stable fixation, preserves fracture biology, and leads to good functional outcomes with minimal complications.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic surgery
- Traumatology
- Biomechanical engineering
Background:
- Distal tibial fractures pose challenges due to limited soft tissue and vascularity concerns.
- Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) minimizes soft tissue disruption and preserves fracture hematoma.
