<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.

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 class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Clavicle fracture is a common traumatic injury around the shoulder girdle due to its subcutaneous position. Recent studies have shown a higher rate of nonunion and shoulder dysfunction in subgroups of patients with clavicle fractures. The purpose of the study was to prospectively analyse the functional outcome of mid-third displaced clavicular fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation with plate osteosynthesis. To study the outcome of displaced middle-third clavicular fracture streated by plate osteosynthesis.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was a prospective comparative on-randomized study was conducted in Government District Head Quarters Hospital Nagapattinam with a follow-up ranging from September 2018 to January 2019 5 months. Thirty-four cases of middle third displaced (Robinson type 2b1 and 2b2) clavicular fractures are treated with plate osteosynthesis. We used a reconstruction plate, a locking compression plate, and a 1/3<sup>rd</sup> tubular plate for study.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The mean time to union was 9.5 weeks. At the latest follow-up, the entire patients returned to the pre-injury activity level. One case had a superficial infection which was treated with intravenous antibiotics. There is no difference between the reconstruction group and the locking compression plate group in terms of functional outcome and union rate. We also noticed that road traffic accident and direct injury to the shoulder causes Robinson type 2b2 fractures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Open reduction and rigid internal fixation of displaced midshaft clavicular fracture have resulted in a good fracture union rate and excellent functional outcome.</p>

Proximal humerus fractures account for about 4% to 5% of all fractures. Following distal forearm fracture, proximal humeral fracture is the second most common upper extremity fracture. Kirschner (K)-Wires, external fixation, tension band wiring, and rush pins, intramedullary nails, ORIF with plates, and shoulder hemiarthroplasty have all been offered as therapeutic options. The purpose of this study was to assess the functional outcome and complication rates following internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures using a locking compression plate. Patients over the age of 18 with closed proximal humerus fractures or open proximal humerus fractures (Gustilo and Anderson type I, Type II) received open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression plate in the current study. The participants in this study were 60 people who had a proximal humerus fracture and were treated with open reduction and a proximal humerus locking compression plate. Patients ranged in age from 20 to 85 years old, with a mean age of 51.14 +/- 17.30 years. The age group 36–55 years (37 percent) was the most prevalent, followed by 56–75 years (30 %). The majority of patients (76.7 %) were men who had been in automobile accidents on the right side (83 %) (63 %). According to the Neer classification, the most prevalent type of fracture was a three-part fracture (53 %). The maximum union time observed in this study was 16 weeks, with a minimum of 10 weeks. The average time to union is 12.52 +/- 1.14 weeks. The mean flexion at the end of six months was 121.660 +/- 19.84. The mean internal rotation was 57.330 +/- 8.48, the mean external rotation was 530 +/- 11.98, and the mean abduction was 1180 +/- 19.36. 75.28 +/- 9.66 [Mean +/- SD] is the Mean Constant score. Pain 14.10, ADL 18.26, range of motion 22.46, and power 20 were the mean scores observed on Constant Score for its various aspects. According to the Constant score, the functional outcome of the 60 patients was as follows: 8 patients had excellent outcomes (13%), 34 patients had good outcomes (56.7%), 16 patients had moderate outcomes (26.7%), and two patients had poor outcomes (26.7%) and (3 %). Internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures with a locking compression plate results in anatomical reduction and secure fixation, resulting in a favorable functional outcome.

<p class="Body"><strong>Background : </strong>Distal tibia fractures or pilon fractures are usually the result of combined compressive and shearing forces, which may lead to instability of the metaphysis. Poor vascularity, lack of muscle cover and frequent intra-articular extension often make these fractures very challenging to manage. There are plenty of options available to treat a distal tibia fracture which includes intramedullary nailing, external fixation, open reduction and internal fixation and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of MIPO with respect to the healing of fracture site, the incidences of complications and to conclude whether MIPO circumvents the problems of formal open reduction and fixation with other implants.</p><p class="Body"><strong>Methods: </strong>A series of forty patients with fracture of the distal tibia on preoperative X-rays were treated with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis using pre-contoured locking plates from June 2014 to October 2018 and followed up at regular intervals with X-rays and monitoring for complications.</p><p class="Body"><strong>Result: </strong>The functional scores were evaluated using Teeny and Wiss clinical rating system for ankle joints. Thirty-two patients had an ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’ outcome. One patient was diagnosed with a soft tissue complication and delayed union and 3 patients were diagnosed with malunion without significant functional disability at follow up. <strong></strong></p><p class="Body"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis with pre-contoured locking plates is associated with high union rate and good functional outcomes. It is an effective treatment modality for distal tibia fractures.</p>

Five comminuted and displaced fractures of the distal metaphysis of the radius were treated by a technique of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with the aim of minimizing soft tissue damage and devascularization of the fracture fragments. This technique used the small AO T-shaped locking compression plate (AO LCP T-plate) and left the pronator quadratus intact. Radial inclination, palmar tilt, and ulnar variance were restored without loss of reduction in all five cases and the fractures healed at an average of 10 weeks, with good to excellent clinical outcomes.
