title: [Observation of curative effect in treatment of distal tibial fractures with minimall invasive percutaneous technique].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the application of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) the clinical curative effect of treatment of fractures of the distal tibia.
  
  
  METHODS
  From 2010 June to 2014 June, the application of MIPPO technology combined with LCP (low bend medial distal tibial plates) for treatment of 67 cases of distal tibial fracture patients, to evaluate the healing of fracture, function etc.
  
  
  RESULTS
  67 patients with effective follow-up, time was 6-20 months, mean 15 months. The incision healed in one stage, 3 weeks. The effect of 12-16 weeks to fracture healing standard weight, nomalunion and nonunion cases, no fracture, bone plate and screw loosening, exit and other phenomena. The postoperative function was evaluated according to Johner-Wruch criteria, excellent in 45 cases, good in 16 cases, 6 cases, poor in 0 cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MIPPO technique combined with LCP (low bend medial distal tibial plates) in treatment of distal tibial fractures in accord with biological osteosynthesis requirements, is a recommendable method to treat fracture extension.
