OUTCOME OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE PLATE OSTEOSYNTHESIS (MIPO) USING LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE (LCP) IN PROXIMAL TIBIAL FRACTURE MANAGEMENT - A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Dr Parveen Kumar Thakur, Dr Sachin Bhonsle

Abstract :

Proximal tibial fractures are difficult to manage because of subcutaneous nature of anteromedial surface of tibia. Proximal tibial fractures are associated with significant soft tissue injury to surrounding structures which results in open fracture, compartment syndrome, neurovascular injury, delayed union, infection, skin dehiscence, bone or implant exposure, subsequently delay in rehabilitation and stiffness of knee joint. Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) is biology preserving technique of fracture fixation with less iatrogenic soft tissue injury. Locking Compression Plate (LCP) is latest implant for fracture fixation with less implant failure especially in osteoporotic bone. This study is intended to evaluate the functional and radiological outcome of MIPO using LCP in management of proximal tibial fracture with the help of modified Rasmussen criteria for knee injuries. From this study we concluded that MIPO using LCP in management of proximal tibial fracture is one of the good treatment modality.
