Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical application and value of MIPO technique in treating distal tibial fracture.Methods During February 2007 and January 2009,27 patients with distal tibial fractures were treated by MIPO technique using LCP.Based on the AO fracture classification system,7 patients were classified into A2,9 into A3,7 into B2 and 4 into C1.The mean age was 43 years old ranging from 26 to 72 years old.Results The mean follow-up duration was 12 months ( between 4 and 21 months ).According to the Johner-Wruhs score classification system,all the patients were well treated,with excellent efficacy in 19 patients,good in 7 patients and acceptable in 1 patient.No infection or skin putrescence occurred.Conclusion MIPO technique is an ideal measure to treat distal tibial fracture with the advantages such as less incision,higher healing rate,nicer appearance,more stable fixation,less tissue infection,earlier functional exercise and weightbearing activity.
