The results of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in distal and diaphyseal tibial fractures.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the time to union and complications in cases of tibial diaphysis and distal tibial fractures fixed with a minimally invasive percutaneous plate. ⋯ MIPPO is an effective alternative treatment for tibial diaphysis and distal tibia fractures with low complication and high union rates.

Comparative StudyComparison of reduction methods in intramedullary nailing of subtrochanteric femoral fractures.
The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of three reduction methods used during intramedullary nailing of the subtrochanteric femur fractures. ⋯ Clamp-assisted reduction leads to a longer time to weight-bearing and a poorer functional status at one year. Operation time and fluoroscopy time were longest in the blocking screw group.
