Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) has gained popularity with satisfactory clinical outcomes in the treatment of long bone fractures. MIPO for humeral shaft fractures, however, could be a surgically dangerous procedure because of the risk of radial nerve injury. An anatomical study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of MIPO for the humeral shaft fractures, and to study the re...

Bone plating has been used as a method of fracture management for many years. Recently, a trend toward the use of fracture fixation techniques which preserve the local fracture environment, known as biological osteosynthesis, has evolved. This trend has resulted in the development of a less traumatic method of bone plating referred to as minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), or percut...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Minimally invasive internal fixation is also called "biological internal fixation". This concept is used widely in the treatment of various fractures but to date, there have been no report about such application in the repair of isolated ulnar bone fractures. METHODS Eleven patients with fracture of isolated ulnar bone (four AO type 22A11 and seven AO type 22A12), mean ...

Background: Treatment of humeral shaft fractures continues to evolve as advances are made in both non-operative and operative management. The encouraging results that have been reported with recent advances in internal fixation techniques and instrumentation. The controversy still exist between plating and intramedullary nailing. MIPO (Minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis) has emerged as a new...

BACKGROUND The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and conventional plate osteosynthesis (CPO) for humeral shaft fracture. METHODS Potential academic articles were identified from the Cochrane Library, Medline (1966-2016.3), PubMed (1966-2016.3), Embase (1980-2016.3), and ScienceDirect (1966-2016.3). Gray stu...

OBJECTIVES To compare the risk of major complications after either minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) or intramedullary nailing (IMN) of humeral shaft fractures. DESIGN Retrospective, case-match controlled study. SETTING A major metropolitan tertiary referral trauma center in Australia. PATIENTS Thirty patients with fractures of the humeral shaft. INTERVENTION Either MIPO or...

Introduction: Tibia is one of the most commonly fractured long bone of the body. Distal tibia fractures are primarily located within a square based on the width of the distal tibia. Treatment of distal tibia fracture is challenging because of its unique anatomical characteristics of subcutaneous location with precarious blood supply and proximity to the ankle joint. Minimally invasive plate ost...

BACKGROUND Relatively few studies have addressed plate osteosynthesis for open proximal tibial fractures by now. The purpose of this study was to assess the results of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for open fractures of the proximal tibia. METHODS Thirty-four patients with an open proximal tibial fracture were treated by MIPO. Thirty of these, who followed for over 1 year, co...

Introduction: Simple fractures, potentially high-strain are classically treated through anatomical reconstruction and rigid fixation, using an open reduction approach. This study aimed to evaluate the bridge plating minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of simple tibial fractures. Our hypothesis was that fixation these fractures MIPO would result in early bone healing with low complica...

conclusions due to the shorter :union: time, to some extent less complication rate and comparable functional and clinical results, the authors recommend to use the mipo technique in treating the mid-distal humeral shaft fracture. results the median of :union: time was shorter in the mipo group (4 months versus 5 months). the time of surgery and functional outcomes based on the ucla and meps sco...
