Abstract:
Objective To assess the clinical value of the mi nimally invasive plate fixation technique in treatment of metaphyseal comminute d fractures of long tubular bones.Methods Sixty-eight patients with metaphyseal comminuted fractures o f femur or tibia were treated with min imally invasive percutaneous plati ng and early recovery movement from April 1999to October 2001.Results All the patients were followed up for a mean time of 10months.The postopera tive radiograph showed that reducti on and internal fixation were satisfactory in sixty-five patients.Lateral angular deformity of 8?occurred in one c ase,and 2cm shortage of the lower lim b in two cases.Sixty-eight patients obt ained bone union and satisfactory clinical function.There were no deep i nfec-tion,nonunion or other complicatio ns.Conclusion For metaphyseal comminuted fractur es of long bones of lower extremities,minimally invasive percutaneous plate fixation is o f significant value due to the advant ages of less iatrogenic trauma,rigid fixation and early movement.[
