Abstract :

Introduction:Proximal tibia being involved in body weight transmission through knee joint and leg,it plays a vital role in knee function and stability.The aim of surgical treatment of proximal tibial fracture is to restore and preserve normal knee function.The introduction of locking plates has added a new dimension of the treatment of these injuries.MIPPO (minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis) techniques may minimise soft tissue injuries and damage to vascularity. Material and methods: This study was carried out in orthopaedic department of Govt. Medical College Rajnandgaon (C.G.), India, since Feuary 2016 to January 2017. 34 patients were studied and required data was collected during period of hospital stay and during follow–up. Results:Clinical assessment was done according to Lysholm knee score.End result showed excellent outcome in 28 patients,good result in 4 cases and fair result in 02 cases.7 patients had complain of joint stiffness,2 patients had minimal infection and 06 patients had mild limping. Conclusion: It was concluded from study that open reduction and MIPPO with proximal tibia plating is an excellent mode for fracture proximal tibia, which consistently gives long term results
