<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The proximal tibial fractures are one of the commonest intra articular fractures majority are of high energy fractures. We did the study to measure the outcome of locking compression plating by minimally invasive percutaeneous plate osteosynthesis technique in proximal tibial fractures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Study comprises 20 cases of proximal tibial fractures, which have been managed by MIPPO technique during the period December 2014 to August 2016.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The sex distribution in our study was 18 males and 2 females with 30 to 57 years age. The most common mode of injury in this study was road traffic accident. Type V Schatzker tibial plateau fractures were the commonest in 8 patients. 70% of our patients had excellent and good results in the functional outcome. In our study the average functional knee score was 22.40. The average range of movement achieved was 120 degrees. The average time taken for fracture healing was 16.52 weeks. In conclusion, MIPPO technique gives good to excellent results even in high energy tibial condyle fractures (70% cases in our study).

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Tibial plateau fractures constitute about 1% of all fractures and complex bicondylar fractures constitute 30% of all Tibial plateau fractures. Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosynthesis [MIPPO] is a method of biological fixation in which a plate is percutaneously inserted and fixed at a distance proximally and distally from the fracture site. By minimal exposure, this helps in the preservation of the essential fracture hematoma, minimal soft tissue dissection, avoidance of periosteal stripping and providing an adequate fixation. The objective of the study was to analyze the functional outcome of proximal Tibial fractures treated with MIPPO technique. The method of fixation shall be evaluated for the time period required for the patients to return to active work following surgery.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> In our study, all 18 patients with proximal Tibial fractures underwent definitive fixation by MIPPO technique. All our cases underwent initial stabilization as per the ATLS guidelines. Patients with closed Tibial plateau fractures associated with a tense haemarthrosis underwent aspiration of the joint under aseptic precautions. The limb was immobilized either in an above knee slab or through skeletal traction using a distal Tibial or calcaneal pin traction on a Bohler Braun splint until definitive fixation was carried out. In cases complicated with excessive swelling and blistering, definitive fixation was delayed until the swelling/ blistering subsided.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The post-operative results were designated as excellent, good, fair and poor according to pain, walking capacity, the range of motion and stability of the knee using Rasmussen’s grading system. In our study, the average functional knee score was 22.89. Rasmussen’s score does not consider articular congruity while assessing the functional outcome of the knee.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> MIPPO technique gives good to excellent results even in high energy Tibial condyle fractures [72.22% cases in our study]. Our patients were able to achieve a good functional range of movement, averaging 120 degrees. [Krettek et al – 124 degrees]. Those who were treated with early fixation and early mobilization were found to have a better functional outcome irrespective of the fracture type. No secondary bone grafting was required. </p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Management of fractures of the distal tibia remains a challenging proposition due to the fact that the major part of the bone is in a subcutaneous location and the blood supply is quite precarious. Conventional forms of osteosynthesis are associated with high rates of infection and nonunion. Due to extensive soft tissue stripping, the vascularity is compromised and often results in poor wound healing and tends to compromise fracture healing as well. Closed reduction with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) addresses these issues and has emerged as a viable treatment option with minimal complications. The aim of this study was to assess the functional outcome MIPO using locking compression plates (LCP).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 32 patients with distal tibial fractures treated by MIPO technique with LCP fixation were studied from January 2012 to January 2014 and were followed up for a period of 2 years.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> All the fractures in our series united well at the end of 6 months with mean time to radiological evidence of callus formation at 10 weeks and the mean time to fracture union was 20 weeks. There were 2 cases with varus angulation in our series and no cases with implant failure. There were 3 patients with superficial skin infections and no cases of deep infection.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> We conclude that MIPO with LCP is an effective treatment option for distal tibial fractures avoiding all the complications associated with other forms of internal fixation. We strongly recommend its usage in these types of complex injuries.</p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The present study is an attempt to evaluate the results of locking compression plate for distal tibia in lower tibial fractures using open reduction internal fixation and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis technique.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>Prospective and retrospective study was conduct on patients attending the outpatient department (OPD)/Emergency OPD in Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla during September 2015 to August 2016 with distal tibial fractures. The patients treated with locking compression plates using minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) are reviewed for inclusion and exclusion criteria. All data were collected and analyzed by Epi-info software.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results: </strong>Out of 52 patients, 48.4% patients undergo open reduction internal fixation had excellent results and 28.6% patients undergo surgery by MIPPO technique had excellent results. p value is 0.352 which is not significant. Overall, 40.4% patients had excellent results. In our study, 32.6% patients having AO/OTA type A fractures had excellent score while type B and C had 1.9% excellent score. This is attributed to more comminution and involvement of ankle joint. Overall, 40.4% patients had excellent score. P value is 0.863 which is insignificant.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>We observed excellent/ good functional outcome in 65.3% of patients.</p>
