Evaluation of the Results of Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis Using a Locking Plate in the Treatment of Distal Femur Fractures.

Introduction Distal femur fractures are serious injuries that can be difficult to treat, carry an unpredictable prognosis, and lead to long-term disability and morbidity. The introduction of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) avoids direct exposure of the fracture site, improves fracture healing and decreases the incidence of complications. The aim of this study was to assess prospectively the early results of the treatment of supracondylar fractures of the femur using minimally invasive percutaneous osteosynthesis using a distal femoral locking plate.
