Abstract	Introduction: Aim of surgical treatment of proximal tibial fractures is to restore and preserve normal knee function. Locking compression plate device offers potential bio-mechanical advantages. Treatment of these injuries using Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) techniques may minimise soft tissue injuries, and damage to vascular integrity of fracture fragments. Material and methods: The present study was carried out among 30 patients aged more than 20 years with closed proximal tibial fractures, Gustilo-Anderson Type 1 & 2 proximal tibial fractures, proximal metaphyseal fractures, associated ligamentous injuries and associated upper end fibula fractures. Chi square test was used to test statistically significant difference in proportions and a p value <0.05 was considered significant. SPSS version 21.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Majority of the study participants were in the younger age group and Majority of the study participants were males (76.7%) and most of them (70%) did not have any associated co-morbid conditions. Majority of the study participants (70%) had an ‘Excellent’ final functional outcome after surgery. Proportion of study participants with ‘Excellent’ final functional outcome was significantly high among those who are young as compared to elder patients. Also, this association was found to be statistically significant (p value – 0.037).
