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 clinical results of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis using a periarticular plate (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN, USA) for distal tibia fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
27 patients with distal tibia fractures were treated operatively by minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis. The patients were followed for at least 1 year. The duration for bone union, complications after the surgery, the amount of skin irritation at the site of plate insertion was evaluated using the VAS score and the Olerud and Molander ankle score. The average age of the patients was 56 years old (range, 30~81 years) with an average follow up period of 21 months (range, 12~30 months).
RESULTS
The average time from trauma to surgery was 6 days (range, 2~19 days). 10 cases showed an associated distal fibular fracture. The average time for bone fusion was 14 weeks (range, 8~40 weeks) with 1 case of angular deformity with more than 5 degrees. The amount of skin irritation due to the periarticular plate resulted in a VAS score of 2.2 points. Evaluation of the ankle function test showed an average of 90.2 points, resulting in satisfactory.
CONCLUSION
The periarticular plate used in minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis for distal tibia fractures was concluded to give a firm fixation of the fracture site as bony fusion could be acquired without any callus formation, and few skin irritation due to plate has seem to be an advantage. -
