Distal tibial fractures represent a significant challenge.They are only 1-10% of all lower extremity fractures.Treatment of distal tibia fracture was difficult beforeinvention of LCP.Because nail,ordinary DCP failed toprovide required stability.Invention of locking plates hasrevolutionalised treatment of distal tibia fractures evenwith small amount of bone,because of their versatality offixed angular stability and specific designs which allowMorenoofscrews in distal fragment
