A study was conducted to assess the outcome of close distal tibial fractures fixed with pre-contoured locking-plate using Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPPO) technique in terms of union and infection, at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery King Edward Medical University/Mayo Hospital, Lahore from August 2013 to May 2017. Fourty cases with close distal tibial fractures were enrolled. Fractures were managed with locking compression plate using MIPPO technique. Patients were followed for 12 months post-fracture stabilisation. Of the 40 patients 24 were males and 16 females, with male to female ratio of 1.5:1. The mean age of the patients was 44.70±13.67 years with minimum and maximum ages of 18 and 60 years, respectively. All fractures united with the mean union time of 16±4 weeks. The infection rate was 5%. Locking compression plate when used with MIPPO technique provides early bone union and low infection rate.

Background: This study evaluated the clinical effects of the use of a temporary bi-frame fixator in conjunction with minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) for treating AO/OTA 41B3 and 41C tibial plateau fractures (TPFs).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 30 patients with TPFs affected by vertical compression seen from October 2019 to October 2020. All patients were treated with a bi-frame fixator to correct the vertical shortening deformity, with the MIPPO technique used after reduction.

Background: The tibia, a crucial long bone in the lower leg, plays a vital role in supporting mobility. Distal tibial fractures (DTFs) are relatively uncommon among lower extremity fractures. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) has become increasingly popular due to advancements in surgical techniques and its potential for positive clinical outcomes.

Background: Anterior pelvic ring injuries have gradually become common. Using a minimally invasive technique to treat this injury may be feasible if the reduction and stability can be effectively achieved. We describe a percutaneous technique, minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO), to fixate the anterior pelvis via establishing a subperiosteal tunnel between two limited incisions over the iliac crest(s) and pubic ramus in this research.

Introduction: Tibial pilon fractures, involving the weight-bearing surface of the distal tibia,present a formidable challenge for orthopedic surgeons due to their complex nature and the delicate soft tissue envelope surrounding the ankle joint.Early approaches to pilon fracturesoften resulted in poor outcomes, but modern principles of internal fixation and anatomicalreconstruction have significantly improved patient prognosis. Despite advancements in surgicaltechniques and implants, achieving anatomical reduction of the articular surface remains asignificant hurdle.

Introduction Managing distal tibia fractures is challenging for trauma surgeons because of their peculiar anatomy with less soft tissue coverage and poor blood supply. There are various treatment options for distal tibia fractures such as open reduction and plating, minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis, and intramedullary interlocking nailing. Open reduction and internal fixation can lead to excessive soft tissue dissection and devascularization of fracture fragments.
