 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Minimally invasive treatment phases comminuted proximal tibia Study: Wang Xiao-Dong Zhou Yan Liu Yang Yuguang Zhu Yujie [Abstract] Objective To investigate the stages of minimally invasive treatment of proximal tibial fractures in the clinical application. Methods from December 2003 to December 2007 94 cases of comminuted fractures of the upper tibia in patients with open combined injuries of which 70 cases were Minimally invasive treatment of a phased approach. The results were followed up for 6 to 13 months, 94 cases of fracture were 2 to 6 months after healing, limb function according to Johner #178; wruhs evaluation by joint function, excellent 63 cases, good in 25 cases, in 6 cases, good rate was 93.6%. Conclusion Minimally invasive treatment phases of proximal tibial fractures, especially associated with opening up the wounded, results were satisfactory. [Keywords:] Distraction less invasive stabilization system comminuted tibial fracture Abstract: Objective To explore clinical application of staged less invasive methods for treatment of comminuted fracture at proximal tibia.Methods From December 2003 to December 2007,94 cases of comininuted fracture at proximal tibia, including 70 cases with open wound, were treated with staged less invasive methods and followed up 6 to 13 months.Results 94 cases achieved solid osseous unions from 2 months to 6 months postoperativly.The results were excellent in 63 cases, good in 25 cases and fair in 6 cases according to Johner #178; wruhs knee scoring.The functions of knee joints was excellent and good at the ratio of 93.6%. Conclusion The effect of staged less invasive treatment of comminuted fracture at proximal tibia were excellent, especially with open wound.
