Abstract
Background: Proximal extra articular tibia fractures management is challenging to surgeon because of its complex fracture pattern and anatomic location. Our aim of this study is to assess the functional, clinical, radiological outcome of MIPO in extra articular proximal tibia fractures. Materials and methods: Prospective study of 43 closed extra articular proximal tibia fracture patients. Study was done in between July 2017 to September 2019 at tertiary care centre in India. The mean age was 32.5 years (range 31-65). Primary bony union was achieved average ofResults: 16.32 weeks (range 14 to 24 weeks). According to modied Rasmussen's criteria 23 patients (53.48%) had excellent outcome, 12 patients (27.90%) had good outcome and 8 patients (18.60%) had fair outcome. mean knee range of motion is 124.23° (Range 10-150°). Complication includes Infection rate (9.3%) and varus malunion (18.60%). Minimally invasive plate ostosyntesis technique offers biological advantagesConclusion: with minimal complication. It fullls the demands of fast implantation, soft tissue protection and high biomechanical stability
