Abstract

Tibial pilon fractures are rare injuries. The MIPO technique seems to be the most effective solution to reduce complications after ORIF, as is minimises surgical soft tissue damage, promotes fracture healing and leads to early resumption of joint function. We describe the surgical technique, the advantages and our experience.
