“…Fixation with conventional compression plates, though for the most part successful, has its limitations (Kubiak et al, 2006). Conventional plate osteosynthesis (CPO) with rigid fixation has shown a high complication rate that includes delayed or non-union, infection, hardware failure and re-fracture after plate removal (Bostman, 1983;Claes et al, 1999;Finsen & Benum, 1986;Hidaka & Gustilo, 1984;Kenwright & Goodship, 1989;Kessler et al, 1992;Mulier et al, 1997;Noorda & Wuisman, 2002;Riemer et al, 1992;Stoffel et al, 2003). (Mast et al, 1989) pioneered the indirect reduction technique without disturbance of the soft tissue envelope around the fracture itself.…”

“…Despite improvements in surgical techniques (13), treatment of these fractures remains a challenge in orthopaedic surgery. The prevalence of impaired healing depends on multiple factors and ranges from !5 to 100% (13)(14)(15). A reduction in healing time or complications would relieve some of the burden that tibial fractures impose on patients and society (16)(17)(18)(19).…”
