Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis in type B fibular fractures versus open surgery.
2013
Background
In traumatology, the search for better surgical access points has led to the increased use of the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique. There are few studies on the treatment of distal fibular fractures with MIPO. Locking compression plates (LCP) for distal fibular fractures is generally applied after open reduction, but may involve complications to the surgical wound. In this study, we compared two groups of patients receiving either ORIF or MIPO, in order to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of the two techniques.
