MIO Tibial Plating

A 24 year old male had a RTA and sustained a Femur fracture with a Comminuted Tibia Fracture and Compound Foot injury.

Tibia Fracture was Comminuted in the Mid shaft for about 2/3 rd of the tibial length. There was segmental fracture of the fibula

Pre Op Xray :

Considering the Comminution MIO/MIPPO plating was planned.

The length of the Plate could have been a problem and hence X rays were taken with the longest plate available.
