A Prospective Study of Analysis of Functional Outcome of Distal Tibial Fracture Treated by Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Plate
Journal Title: Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the management of distal tibial fractures treated by plate osteosynthesis and assess their functional outcomes and complications. Materials & Methods: We included 25 patients (16 having AO43A type, 7 having AO43B type and 2 having AO43C type fracture) and all were treated with plating. Patients were regularly followed up at six weeks interval till union aer that 3 monthly for period of 1 year and evaluated clinically and radiologically with respect to partial and full weight bearing time, union time and functional outcome on the basis of AOFAS Score. Result: Mean age of patients was 42.24 years. Mean operative time was 77.80 and average time for union was 21.56+2.58 weeks whereas functional outcome was 95.76+2.90. Lesser complications in terms of implant irritation, ankle stiffness, and infection were seen with MIPPO.
