M.I.P.O. vs Intramedullary Nailing in Tibia Fractures

Intramedullary Nailing vs. M.I.P.O. in Fractures of the Tibia a Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 180 (estimated)
• Sponsor: King Abdullah International Medical Research Center · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The investigators are comparing two methods of standard treatments in distal tibial fractures. locked plating (M.I.P.O. technique) with intramedullary nailing. the investigators are hypothesizing that M.I.P.O group is superior to nailing in fractures of the distal third of the tibia.

Detailed description

The kind of plates the investigators are comparing are the Locked plates form Synthes ® using the minimally invasive technique vs the Expert Tibial Nail® from Synthes ®

Conditions

• Tibia Fracture

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis	Fractures well be treated with locked plates using M.I.P.O. Technique
PROCEDURE	intramedullary tibial Nailing	Fractures well be fixed using intramedullary nails
