Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the functional outcome of tibial pilon fractures treated with a minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis technique among adults. Materials & Methods: Patients who arrived at the orthopaedics department from 1st September 2018 to 30th September 2020 were considered for our study. Minimal Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis is the method adopted to treat pilon fractures. The mean follow-up time after surgery was six months to two years. Union time, complications, and AOFAS scores were evaluated. Results: According to AO/OTA classification, 7 patients were type A1 fractures, 4 were type A3, 2 were type A3, 3 were type B1, 1 was type B2, 1 was type C1 and 2 were type C3 fractures. The mean AOFAS score was 86.6. Minimal complications were noticed in patients. Conclusion: Minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis is a steadfast method of management for pilon fractures that delivers great fracture healing and a significant functional outcome with fewer complications.
