Abstract

Background: Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking plate should still be considered the standard for distal tibia fracture management. Objectives: To evaluate the results of treatment distal tibia fractures by ORIF with locking plate at 121 Military Hospital. Materials and methods: Prospective study on 56 patients sustained distal tibia fracture from January 2020 to June 2021 at 121 Military Hospital. Results: The cause of the injury is mainly due to traffic accidents 71.43%. According to Association for Osteosynthesis (AO) classification: 46.43% type A1; 23.21% type A2; 17.86% type A3; 10.71% type C1 and 1.79% type C2. Patients were followed up on average of 12.3 ± 5.2 months. According to Larson and Bostman classification: very good and good at 92.86%; regular 7.14%. Johner and Wruhs’s criteria was used to evaluate the function results: excellent and good at 89.28%%, fair 10.72%. Conclusion: ORIF is an effective method of treatment for distal tibial fracture. ORIF has the advantages of clear exposure and definite anatomical reduction, which is especially suitable for fractures of type A (AO classification).
