Outcomes following minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) application in tibial pilon fractures – A systematic review

Limb Fractures Treated With the Novel Plate Osteosynthesis Application Technique: Second to Minimally Invasive Plates osteosynthesis

“…MIPO technique, developed in the past 30 years, is considered because it most closely aligns with the concept of biologic internal fixation for fracture treatment, and it has found widespread application in treating fractures in various sites throughout the body, including the tibia, fibula, ulna, radius, humerus, clavicle, and scapula, among others. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The advantages of this technique include reducing iatrogenic damage to the soft tissues surrounding the fracture site and minimizing postoperative scar formation, thereby meeting patients' aesthetic requirements. 18,19 However, there are also some drawbacks associated with the MIPO technique in practical clinical operations.…”
