Results and complications of minimally invasive medial plate osteosynthesis for distal metaphyseal tibial fractures: A prospective case series from Vietnam.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

The treatment of a fractures in tibial distal metaphyseal remained controversial. The purpose of this study was to assess the results and complications of minimally invasive medial plate osteosynthesis for distal metaphyseal tibial fractures.

Material and method

From April 2014 to December 2019, 70 patients were enrolled in the study who were underwent MIPPO for metaphyseal tibial fractures using a medial distal tibial locking plate in our hospital. Wound healing, alignment, full weight bearing time, function, and complications were recorded.

Results

All wounds primarily healed, just one fibular plating wound was deeply infected. All tibial fractures were solid union without secondary displacement. The average time back to walk without a cr
