Distal tibial metaphyseal fractures pose many complexities. This study assessed the outcomes of distal tibial fractures treated with percutaneously inserted medial locking plates. Eighteen patients were selected based on the fracture pattern and classified using the AO classification and stabilised with an AO medial tibial locking plate. Time to fracture union, complications and outcomes were assessed with the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle score at 12 months.Background
