PURPOSE: Intraoperative control of @entity717 poses a big challenge for surgeons when using modern MIPO (minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis) techniques. We hypothesized that @entity3330 treated with MIPO technique are more often fixed in @entity1518 than those treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). METHODS: In this retrospective study, we identified 20 @entity1 who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to take part in the study. In ten @entity1 MIPO was applied, in the other ten ORIF was used. Mean age was 44.8 (19-71  years). Functional status was assessed using clinical scores (Harris Hip Score, WOMAC Hip, KS Score, WOMAC Knee, Kujala Score). Rotational alignment was assessed with magnetic resonance imaging and compared to the opposite leg. RESULTS: We discovered a significant difference in the mean rotational difference between the MIPO group (14.3  ) and the ORIF group (5.2  ). Functionally, @entity1 in the ORIF group outperformed @entity1 in the MIPO group in all clinical scoring systems although no one proved to be statistically significant. MIPO technique was associated with significantly more @entity717 compared to ORIF in distal femur @entity174 fixation. However, implant failure and nonunion was more common in the ORIF group, with a revision rate of 3 versus 1 in the ORIF group. Clinical scoring did not significantly different between both groups. CONCLUSION: Taking into account the undisputable advantages of minimally invasive surgery, improved teaching of methods to avoid @entity1518 as well as regular postoperative investigations to detect any @entity1518 should be advocated.

Does MIPO of @entity174 of the distal femur result in more XXXX than ORIF? A retrospective study.
