Aim: Treatment of distal tibia fractures (DTF) is still controversial in the literature. In the current study, we aimed to report results of DTF treated with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). Material and Methods: Clinical results, union time and complications of patients with DTF treated using MIPO technique between June 2014 and January 2018 were evaluated. Results: There were 17 male, 13 female patients with a mean age of 35 (range, 16-64) years. Mean follow-up time was 40,1 +/- 11,86 (range 24-60) months. The union was achieved on average in 5,3 +/- 1,66 (range, 3-8) months. One patient had superficial wound infection which was treated with antibiotherapy. One patient's implant was removed due to skin irritation symptoms 1 year after the complete union. Discussion: MIPO technique is safe and effective with a very low complication rate in the treatment of DTF. Intraoperative care should be taken to prevent malunion and malalignment.
