Abstract:

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) is a well-described technique for distal tibia fractures, allowing for plate fixation with minimal soft tissue trauma and preservation of blood supply to bone fragments and soft tissue. However, the treatment of an acute post-operative infection with incision, drainage, irrigation, and debridement might negate the advantages of minimal soft tissue trauma. We present a simple method of daily wound irrigation that increases the success of a less invasive treatment method at lower costs and greater comfort for the patient.
