ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the functional outcome of minimally invasive plate Osteo synthesis technique in fractures of proximal tibail shaft.

Study Design: Observational Study

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Imran Idris Teaching Hospital Sialkot during Jan 2020 to Oct 2020.

Materials and Methods: A total of 80 cases collected from patients presenting in department of orthopedics Imran Idris teaching hospital Sialkot fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were explained about the procedure and written consent was taken, risks and benefits were discussed and proper follow up plan was made. All patients were operated in elective theatre of orthopedics department by the same surgeon. Patients were discharged on post-operative day # 1 and were called in outpatient department every 4 weeks for follow up of functional outcome; the functional outcome at 16 weeks was done and recorded. The permission of Ethical Committee of the institute was taken to collect the data and get publishing in Medical Journal. The data analyzed for results by SPSS version 20.

Results: A total of 80 patients fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled to determine the functional outcome of minimally invasive plate Osteo synthesis technique in fractures of proximal tibail shaft.

Age distribution of the patients was done which shows majority of the patients between 30-40 years i.e. 41.25% (n=33) while 31.25% (n=25) were between 41-50 years and 27.5% (n=22) were between 51-60 years, mean and sd was calculated as 41.34+3.76 years.

Gender distribution of the patients was done which shows 71.25% (n=57) male and 28.75% (n=23) were females.

Frequency of outcome of minimally invasive plate Osteo synthesis technique in fracture of proximal Tibial shaft reveals 61.25% (n=49) excellent and 38.76% (n=31) were good. Stratification of functional outcome for age of the patients was done and presented in Table No. 4, out of 33 cases between 30-40 years excellent were 21.25%(n=17) and 20%(n=16) were good, out of 25 cases between 41-50 years 22.5%(n=18) excellent and 8.75%(n=7) good, while out of 22 cases between 51-60 years 17.5%(n=14) were excellent and 10%(n=8) were good. Stratification of functional outcome for gender of the patients reveal out of 57 male case, 46.25% (n=37) were excellent and 25% (n=20) good while out 23 females 15% (n=12) excellent and 13.75% (n=11) were good.

Conclusion: The results of the study concluded that functional outcome in patients of fractures of proximal tibail shaft treated with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis technique is significantly reliable and applicable in future.

Key Words: Proximal tibail shaft fracture, minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis, functional outcome, excellent, good
