Abstract Background: Study of functional outcome of distal femur fractures treated with minimal invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) Methods: Hospital based Prospective intervantional study conducted on 30 Patients in the department of Orthopedics in hospitals attached to S.M.S Medical College and hospital. Results: In our study, 43.33% patients had excellent scoring and 26.67% patients had good results and 30.00% patients had fair result Conclusion: We concluded that three fourth patients functional outcome was excellent/ good. Keywords: Functional outcome, MI-PPO, Femur Introduction In the last few decades, rapid industrialization and the changes in lifestyle of people have brought catastrophe like road traffic accidents has crippled many young productive lives. 2 Distal femoral fractures account for 6 % of all femoral fractures. and these fractures have a bimodal pattern that is in younger patients they occur as a result of high energy but in older osteoporotic individuals with weaker bones due to just trivial fall. 2 Various modality of surgical treatment such as closed intramedullary nailing, Open Reduction and Internal Fixation with conventional plate osteosynthesis and external fixation has been tried so far. But none of them have good functional outcome but had high complication rate. Conservative treatment by cast application lead to ankle and knee stiffness affecting quality of life of the patient . Closed intramedullary interlocking nailing of distal tibia fracture can be a good option, but the hourglass shape of the distal tibia does not allow anatomical reduction resulting in rotational and angular malalignment. External fixation is indicated in severe soft tissue injury or as a temporary stabilizing device. Pin tract infection, malreduction and joint stiffness are the drawbacks of external fixation 3,4 Materials and Methods: Study Area- Patients in the department of Orthopedics in hospitals attached to S.M.S Medical College and hospital.
