Abstract

The muscle skeletal system commonly suffers traumatic injuries, the tibia due to its anatomical characteristics is more susceptible to fractures. It is intended to present a series of preliminary results on minimally invasive osteosynthesis for the treatment of these lesions. Theoretical and empirical methods are used to perform the analysis of updated knowledge about them. Most of the patients treated with minimally invasive surgery for their tibia fractures are male (85.52%) and their age is generally between 40 and 60 years (48.15%). The most affected anatomical region was the distal third of the tibia. The surgical time for osteosynthesis decreased to 43 minutes, with few complications.

It is concluded that MIPO is an option for the treatment of tibial fractures taking into account its indications, it can be reproducible without the need for special instrumentation and as it is a biological osteosynthesis that preserves vascularization and the fracture hematoma has fewer risks of complications.
