Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of locked plating in the treatment of closed distal tibial fractures in adults. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 47 patients treated at the Department of Trauma-Orthopedics and Burns, Thai Binh General Hospital. Follow-up duration was 6 months postoperatively. Outcomes were assessed based on pain level, fracture alignment, bone healing, functional recovery, and patient satisfaction. Results: 89.8% achieved bone union without malalignment; 93.6% had primary wound healing. At 6 months, 69.3% of patients reported mild pain (0–3 points), while only 5.1% had severe pain. Functional mobility significantly improved, and 94.9% of patients were satisfied with the surgical outcomes. Conclusion: Locked plating is an effective and minimally invasive method that promotes good functional recovery and pain reduction after surgery.
