Abstract
PDF - PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) using a lateral plate (Zimmer, Periarticular Lateral Distal Tibial Plates, USA) in distal tibial fracture within 3 cm to plafond, associated with medial soft tissue damage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 2005 to December 2007, 15 patients with distal tibial fracture treated by MIPPO technique using a lateral plate were analyzed. The duration of follow-up was more than 1 year. We evaluated union time by simple X-ray, clinical results by IOWA ankle rating system, and complication.
RESULTS
The bone union was achieved in all cases at average 16.7 weeks. Evaluation of the ankle function test showed an average of 90.3 points, resulting in satisfactory. At the last follow-up, there was no non-union, angular deformity more than 5 degrees or infection.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that MIPPO technique using a lateral plate is a efficient method for high functional recovery with good bone healing and low complication in distal tibial fracture within 3 cm to plafond, associated with medial soft tissue damage. -

- PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficacy of mini-incision reduction technique in unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture treated with intramedullary nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January, 2005 to December, 2007, we selected 26 patients of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture which underwent anatomic reduction by mini-incision reduction technique using various instruments, and treated with intramedullary nail. We evaluated the radiological results with the union time, change of femoral neck-shaft angle and distance of lag screw sliding by follow-up radiography, and the clinical results with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Salvati and Wilson hip function scoring system and Jensen index.
RESULTS
The mean union time was 18.9 weeks. The mean changes of femoral neck-shaft angle was 4.1 degree. The mean distance of lag screw sliding was 4.4 mm. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Salvati and Wilson hip function score was showed, and social function score of Jensen maintained 54% compared with preoperative score.
CONCLUSION
Mini-incision reduction technique using various instruments showed satisfactory clinical and radiological results, and we believe that it is a recommendable method in unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture which manual reduction is difficult.
