Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis versus intramedullary nail fixation for distal tibial fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The treatment for distal tibial fractures remains controversial to date. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) and intramedullary nailing (IMN) are well-accepted and effective methods for distal tibial fractures, but these methods were associated with complications. This study aimed to assess and compare the clinical and functional outcomes in patients with distal tibial fractures treated with MIPPO or IMN.

Methods

We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared MIPPO with IMN in patients with distal tibial fractures from inception till 15 August 2019. Also, quantitative summaries of time to reunion, rate of complications, and functional outcomes were evaluated.

Results

The pooled results suggested that patients in the MIPPO group had a longer time to reunion with a mean difference of 1.21?weeks [P = 0.02; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16-2.26)] than those in the IMN group. The overall union complications and deep infection between IMN and MIPPO were similar (P > 0.05). IMN had a significantly low risk of wound complications [risk ratio (RR) = 0.51, P = 0.00, 95% CI 0.34-0.77)]. The pooled functional outcomes of the two groups remained controversial by different evaluating scores.

Conclusions

Compared to MIPPO, IMN had a significantly low risk of wound complications and associated with limited time for reunion. Although the pooled functional outcomes of the two groups were controversial due to different evaluating scores, IMN was the preferred surgical technique than MIPPO for treating distal tibial fractures.

Project description:ObjectiveThe treatment of distal third humeral shaft fracture is difficult. Studies have shown that anterior minimally invasive plate has lower probability of complication and higher healing rate. However there is no applicable anatomical plate at present. This study is to investigate the clinical effect of intramedullary nail combined with anterior minimally invasive plate in the treatment of distal humeral shaft fractures.MethodsThe data of 83 patients with lower humerus shaft fracture treated from September 2015 to January 2020 were analyzed. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into two groups: 40 patients were treated with intramedullary nailing combined with minimally invasive anterior plate fixation (group A), and 43 patients were treated with double plate fixation through posterior approach (group B). General preoperative data, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, total incision length, fracture healing time, shoulder and elbow visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Constant-Murley shoulder function score, Mayo elbow function score, and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. Two independent sample t-tests was used for follow-up, age, BMI, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, total incision length, fracture healing time, Constant-Murley score and Mayo score, and rank sum test was used for VAS score of shoulder and elbow.ResultsThere was no significant difference in preoperative general data between the two groups (p > 0.05), indicating comparability. There were no significant differences in operation time, total incision length, fracture healing time, Constant-Murley shoulder function score at the last follow-up, Mayo elbow function score, and shoulder and elbow VAS pain score between 2 groups (p > 0.05). The amount of intraoperative blood loss in observation group was 76.98 ± 16.46, which was significantly less than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.01). There were no radial nerve injury, musculocutaneous nerve injury, incision infection and fracture nonunion in the observation group. In the control group, four cases of iatrogenic radial nerve injury, three cases of incision infection and three cases of fracture nonunion were found. The complication rate was 23.3% (10/43). There was statistical difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (p < 0.01).ConclusionA humeral intramedullary nail combined with an anterior minimally invasive plate in the treatment of distal humeral shaft fracture has the advantages of less soft tissue damage, less blood transfusion, high fracture healing rate and low risk of iatrogenic radial nerve injury, which is an effective method for clinical treatment of this type of fracture.
