  Background: In most diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures of the distal tibia, treatment with open reduction and absolute stability with a plate is gradually changing to a concept of functional alignment and elastic fixation, a concept based on indirect reduction and percutaneous plating osteosynthesis, known as the MIPO (minimally invasive plating osteosynthesis) technique. In this technique, the bone is accessed through soft-tissue windows away from the fracture, thus avoiding direct exposure of the fracture site. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate a case series of distal diaphyseal and metaphyseal extra-articular tibia fractures treated according to the MIPO technique using small fragment non-locked implants. Materials and methods: This retrospective study reviewed of all cases of distal diaphysea.. Read More»
