Background: MIPO technique, with less periosteal stripping, may facilitate bone healing by preserving soft tissue and promoting oxygen tension in the fracture hematoma. The present study was conducted to assess the functional and clinical outcomes of Minimal Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis in comminuted fracture of long bones.

Materials & Methods: A total of 28 patient’s patients were selected for the study. After a patient with comminuted fractures of long bones was admitted to the hospital, all the necessary clinical details were recorded in proforma prepared for surgery. The cases were studied on the basis of gender, age, site of injury, classification and mode of injury. Postoperatively, patients were evaluated for radiological investigations and functional outcome.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.03 years and 24 (86%) were males. Outcome was excellent in 16 patients (61.54%) followed by Good in 7 patients (26.93%) and Poor in 3 patients (11.53%) due to non-union.

Conclusion: Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique using Locking Compression Plate (LCP) is a safer and better procedure than the conventional techniques used to manage comminuted fractures of long bones.
