Arthroscopic Minimal Invasive Treatment of Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Impression Fractures

Posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau are difficult to address. Malunion can lead early posttraumatic arthritis knee due instability and elevated joint reaction forces. Arthroscopically assisted percutaneous reduction facilitates visualization avoids open approaches either directly from posterolateral or lateral with optional extension via a epicondylus osteotomy. We describe illustrate minimal invasive technique using an arthroscopic viewing portal. Using this technique, we demonstrated very good clinical outcome excellent patient satisfaction. Key words: Schatzker, tibia head fracture, arthroscopy, multiligamentary injury.
