Abstract	BACKGROUND: Distal diametaphyseal tibia fracture though requires operative treatment is difficult to manage. Conventional osteosynthesis is not suitable because distal tibia is subcutaneous bone with poor vascularity. Closed reduction and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis with locking compression plate (LCP) has emerged as an alternative treatment option because it respects biology of distal tibia and fracture hematoma and also provides biomechanically stable construct. OBJECTIVES: To find out suitability of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis with Locking compression plate for distal diametaphyseal tibia fracture including union time and complications. METHODS: Twenty patients with closed distal tibia fracture with or without intra articular extension (AO classification typeA1, type-A2, type-A3) treated with minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis with Locking compression plate were prospectively followed for average duration of 12 months. RESULTS: Average duration of injury-surgery interval was 4.5 days (Range 3-7 days) all fractures got united with an average duration of 23.5 weeks (range17-30weeks). No non-union or mal-union were found. There was one superficial infection found which healed with extended period of intravenous antibiotics.
