Dr. K. Tharun | Dr. K. Hari Krishna Reddy | Dr. A. Sandeep Kumar
Abstract: Introduction: With day to day increase in road traffic accidents, there is a considerable increase in the incidence of proximal tibia fracture. Knee is major weight bearing joint of the lower limb consequently any fractures involving the proximal tibia will definitely compromise the knee function and stability. Proper anatomical reduction and soft tissue management is necessary for obtaining stable, congruent mobile joint. With the developed of LCP (locking compression plate) and mippo (minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis) technique has revolutionized the treatment of proximal tibia fractures which help in minimizing soft tissue injuries and damage to vascular integrity fracture fragments. Aim: To restore of anatomical articular congruity, stability and management of soft tissue injuries along with concomitant injuries of ligamentous and promote knee joint early mobilization. Objective: The present study was to evaluate effectiveness of locking compression plate in the management of proximal tibia fractures. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in dept of orthopaedics, Narayana medical college and hospital Nellore Andhra Pradesh Results: Ramussen?s fuctional grading system is used for clinical assessment. Conclusion: in order to attain knee function, surgical management of proximal tibia fractures with locking compression plate will result in excellent anatomical reduction and rigid fixation to restore articular congruity, promote early mobilization, and reduce post traumatic osteoarthiritis
Keywords: Proximal tibia fractures, locking compression plate, minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO)
