Abstract: Objective: Study was done to compare results between the Mippo and ORIF in extra articular distal tibia fracture. Hypothesis was made that outcome of MIPPO technique is comparable to ORIF.
Methodology: 30 patients were included in study out of which 15 patients were treated by Mippo technique and remaining 15 patients ORIF technique was used. Outcome was evaluated on basis of time of injury to surgery, operation time, blood loss, healing time, hospital stay, blood transfusion, implant related complication, radiation exposure, AOFAS grading.
Results: there was no remarkable difference in AOFS score, fracture union, hospital stay, mean operative time or wound healing. Blood loss was higher in ORIF group but radiation exposure was slightly more in MIPPO group, 1 case of malunion found in MIPPO group.
Conclusion: functional outcome of MIPPO technique are comparable with ORIF technique.
