Abstract
Distal tibial anatomical locking compression plates (LCP Synthes UK) have recently become available. Retrograde insertion of the AO distal tibial anatomical LCP via a distal transverse wound enables the MIPPO to be completed rapidly, with minimal surgical trauma to the zone of injury, with the frame in place until the procedure is completed-a particular advantage in these often highly unstable injuries.
