Comparison of Surgical Management of Extra Articular Distal Tibial Fractures with Closed Interlock Nailing and Minimal Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosynthesis
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: In distal tibia extra articular fractures plating has advantage of better reduction and malunion but can cause infection and wound healing problems. Interlock nailing has knee pain complication but less infection and wound healing problems. So we decided to carry out prospective cohort study to compare the results of interlock nailing and minimal invasive percutaneous plating osteosynthesis (MIPPO). Materials and Methods: There were 25 patients in MIPPO group and 26 in intramedullary interlock nailing group. We used poller screw to obtain good placement of interlock nail, which were removed after fixation. Patients were followed upto 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. Results: There were 20 males in interlock nailing group and 21 in MIPPO group. There was no statistical difference regards to operative time, pain, union time, malunion, non-union, delayed union, infection or resurgery. Hospital stay was less in interlock nailing group and was statistically significant. Conclusion: There is shorter duration of hospital stay in distal tibia extra articular fractures treated by interlock nailing as compared to MIPPO, however both interlock nailing and MIPPO are equally effective and safe to treat distal tibia extra articular fracture.
