Background: Distal metaphyseal tibia fractures are difficult to treat owing to their limited blood supply, subcutaneous location, and inadequate soft tissue blanket. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate Osteosynthesis (MIPPO) using a locking compression plate (LCP) is a widely used surgical treatment. It is beneficial for the management of distal tibia fractures. This study aimed to assess the functional outcomes of distal tibia fractures treated with the MIPPO technique with an LCP. Methods: The investigators have conducted this prospective study with thirty patients who presented with distal tibia fractures over 8 months. All patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria took part in the study. All the patients were surgically managed by the MIPPO technique with LCP under spinal or general anesthesia. The functional and radiological outcomes were evaluated with the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale. Results: A sizable number of the patients were aged 40–60 years, with a mean age of 49.8 years. Most participants were male (66.67%). The mean duration of surgery was 72.60 ± 5.35minutes. The mean length of hospital stay was 7.22 ± 1.45 days.
