Outcomes of Treating Tibial Shaft Fractures Using Intramedullary Nailing (IMN) versus Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPPO)

Abstract

In treating tibial shaft fractures, MIPPO appears to cause fewer complications and provides better healing environment therefore attributes to lower non-union rates than IMN. Larger sample size might be needed to provide better results.
