Abstract

Minimally invasive percutaneous locking plate osteosynthesis (MIPLPO) enables widening of indication area for using locking plates in the distal tibia region. Timing of surgery, appearance of deformity on X-ray, postoperative pain and the loss of range of motion were analyzed between two groups of patients. Preliminary results showed statistically significant advantage in shortening the operative time, appearance of deformity on X-ray, as well as improving the range of motion in patients treated with MIPLPO technique. Patients treated with MIPLPO technique showed statistically significantly better results compared to those treated with MIPPO technique.
