    The STMIPO technique combines minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis with direct visualization for treating distal one-third fibular fractures.

  • 2

    A retrospective analysis of 145 patients compared STMIPO and ORIF techniques regarding operation time, blood loss, and complications.

  • 3

    The STMIPO group showed advantages in surgical incision length, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications compared to the ORIF group.

  • 4

    All patients in both groups achieved osseous union of the fibula, with no significant difference in postoperative ankle AOFAS scores.

  • 5

    STMIPO demonstrated significant benefits in minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster recovery while maintaining fracture healing quality.
