Abstract

Distal tibia fractures are one of commonest lower extremity fracture. The treatment is quite challenging, since it has poor vascularity and limited soft tissue coverings. There are various treatment modalities for the management of distal tibia fractures. Minimally Invasive techniques using locking compression plate has emerged as a popular treatment option because of its respect towards the biology of distal tibia, maintenance of fracture haematoma and providing a biomechanically stable fixation. It also has an advantage of early mobilization and minimal complications with a relatively higher rates on union. In this review article, we will evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques for fractures involving distal Tibia.
