Comparison of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing in the treatment of distal extraarticular tibial fractures

Abstract

Aim: Our study’s aim was to investigate the effectiveness of minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and intramedullary nailing (IMN) in extraarticular distal tibia fractures and to compare the outcomes of these two treatment methods. Materials and Methods: Between January 2008 and January 2015, 59 patients had extraarticular distal tibia fracture and treated with MIPO or IMN were evaluated retrospectively. Postoperative x-rays were evaluated for fracture consolidation and angular deformities. For the functional evaluations of the patients Olerud-Molender Ankle Scoring (OMAS) method was used and ankle joint range of motion was measured by goniometer. Results: At the last visit, all the fractures consolidated. Average union time was 16.1weeks (range, 12-24 weeks) in MIPO group and 15.5 weeks (range 10-24 weeks) in IMN group, respectively (p = 0.254). The mean OMAS scores were 67.5 (range 40–90) and 63 (range 30-90) in the IMN and MIPO groups, respectively (p= 0.12). The mean operation time was 95(range 45-115) minutes in IMN group and 75(range 40-100) minutes in MIPO group (p= 0.04). The mean operative radiation exposure times were 30(range 8-143) and 17 (range 5-65) seconds in IMN and MIPO groups, respectively (p= 0.03). Angular deformities were found in IMN group at 7 (23%) patients and in MIPO group at 5 (17%) patients, respectively. Soft tissue problems were seen in more patients in MIPO group. Conclusion: In conclusion, IMN and MIPO can be used safely in the treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures. While IMN caused more angular deformity and more union delay, patients treated with MIPO had poorer functional results and more soft tissue problems.
