Introduction: Fracture to tibia is one of the most common fracture encountered in a career of an orthopaedic
surgeon. Because of the often high energy involved and the precarious soft tissue cover that surrounds the distal
tibia, such fractures command watchful attention to the soft tissue cover for timing and method of surgical fixation.
In recent years, the concept of biological osteosynthesis has gained a reputation in fracture treatment. And in order
to maintain biology of the fracture and to expedite the healing process many institutions and surgeons are using
minimal invasive methods for distal tibial fixation. However till date no comparison is being made between the use
of MIPPO and supracutaneous plating for distal tibial fractures. We are the first one to show our experience and
results with these two biological methods in 40 cases of gr.. Read More»
