 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Minimally invasive percutaneous plate in the treatment experience of 21 cases of tibial fractures [Abstract] Objective To observe the AO locking compression plate with minimally invasive percutaneous plate for treatment of tibial fractures in the lower results. Methods AO locking compression plate with minimally invasive percutaneous plate technique, 32 cases of tibial fractures in the lower surgery fixed. After a mean follow up 7.5 months. fractures good results in 29 cases, well-healed and the functional recovery, 3 cases of delayed union. conclusions using locking compression plate with minimally invasive percutaneous plate in the treatment of lower tibial fractures have a high clinical value. [Keywords:] Minimally invasive locking compression plate fixation of tibial fractures AO locking compression plate (locking compression plate, LCP) is a dynamic compression plate and the limited contact dynamic compression plate, based on the point of contact with AO plate and the less invasive stabilization system developed by clinical advantages A new treatment of long bone metaphyseal fracture of complex systems [1]. In recent years the use of LCP in the lower plate in the treatment of tibial fractures, foreign clinical applications have achieved good results [2]. our hospital in July 2006 to December 2007 patients with distal tibial fractures treated 32 patients, using minimally invasive percutaneous plate technique (minimally invasive percutaneou plate osteosynthesis, MIPPO) and LCP plate fixation, achieved satisfactory results. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information The group of 32 patients with tibia in the lower fracture patients, 19 males and 13 females, aged 18 to 55 years, mean 38 years. 20 cases of the tibia in the lower fracture, 18 cases associated with fibular fractures, hospital admissions were 1 ~ 3 d after giving LCP plate fixation. The patients were diagnosed by imaging. Operation of fixed devices
