The management of distal tibia fractures can be challenging because of the scarcity of soft tissue, their subcutaneous nature, and poor vascularity. Classic open reduction and internal fixation require extensive soft tissue dissection and periosteal stripping, with high rates of complications. Minimally invasive plating techniques reduce iatrogenic soft tissue injury and bone damage and preserve the osteogenic fracture hematoma. The purpose of this study is to present the experience of the B4 osteoarticular surgery department, of CHU Hassan II of Fez Morocco, in the percutaneous surgery of tibial pound fractures by screwed plates. This is a retrospective study between January 2014 and December 2017, including 11 cases of tibial pilon fracture in adults treated with a percutaneous screwed plate.
