Faster return to job and sports after antegrade plate insertion in minimally invasive plating of distal tibia fractures

Conclusions Both modes of plate insertion were safe and effective in treating distal tibia fractures. Antegrade plate insertion minimizes additional trauma to the already traumatized zone, showed less complications, and better functional results. Faster return to job and sports support antegrade plate insertion to be preferred for athletic persons. A prospective comparative study is recommended.
