Does MIPO of fractures of the distal femur result in more rotational malalignment than ORIF? A retrospective study

摘要

Intraoperative control of rotational malalignment poses a big challenge for surgeons when using modern MIPO (minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis) techniques. We hypothesized that distal femoral fractures treated with MIPO technique are more often fixed in malrotation than those treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).
