Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Tibia is the most commonly fractured bone amongst all long bones of the body due to its position and lack of soft tissue protection. A variety of treatment methods have been suggested for these injuries, including non operative treatment, external fixation, intramedullary nailing and plate fixation. 25 patients with fracture of distal tibia were included in the study, Fractures were reduced by principle of ligamentotaxis and using MIPPO technique and fixed with distal tibial locking plate and functional outcome was analysed with AOFAS ankle and hind foot score. All fractures showed union upto 24 weeks and 20 patients had AOFAS score between 71-100 at 6 months.
