**6. Complications**

The risk of infection is reduced due to: shortened time of surgery, minimal dissection, extraperiosteal dissection, minimal size of implants, antibiotics. The implants ablation and antibiotics resolve that rare complication, while in classical open surgery the rate of infections and stiffness is 10 %.

Posttraumatic arthritis in 4a patient with bicondylar fracture could be a good indication for total knee replacement. In only 4% of cases the restore of the entire surface of the tibial plateau was not achieved. The varum deviation was finally observed in 3% of patients, with maximum value of 50.
