Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis vs. ORIF for distal tibia fractures .
Comparison of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis with open reduction and internal fixation for treatment of extra-articular distal tibia fractures
Injury. 2013 Aug;44(8):1102-6.94 patients with displaced extra-articular distal tibia fractures were randomized to receive open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or treatment using a minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO). This one year study aimed to evaluate the clinical success of the minimally invasive operation in comparison to ORIF, assessing differences in complications and operative outcomes. The results demonstrated similar outcomes for ORIF and the MIPPO procedure, unless a Type C fracture was involved, in which case, the healing time was reduced with the MIPPO approach.
