Schatzker type IV medial tibial plateau fractures: a computed tomography-based morphological subclassification.
Schatzker type IV medial tibial plateau fractures have an unfavorable prognosis, likely due to the mechanism of injury (fracture-dislocation/subluxation type) and possibly due to the involvement of the posterolateral plateau, which is different from previously thought. The aim of this study was to propose a new subclassification of Schatzker type IV fracture patterns based on 2-dimensional (2-D...
متن کاملClassifications in brief: Schatzker classification of tibial plateau fractures.
Early attempts at classifying tibial plateau fractures by Palmer in 1951 [25], Hohl and Luck in 1956 [15], and Hohl in 1967 [15] recognized some of the major themes common to many classification systems for these fractures: split of a condyle, subchondral depression, and comminuted bicondylar involvement. Schatzker et al. published their classification system in 1979 [29], deriving it from the ...
متن کاملThe morphological features of different Schatzker types of tibial plateau fractures: a three-dimensional computed tomography study
BACKGROUND Tibial plateau fractures are of great challenge to treat with open reduction and internal fixation, because fractures vary from simple to complex, with little or extensive articular involvement. Hence, recognition and comprehension of the fracture features will help orthopedic surgeons understand the injury mechanism better and manage these fractures by planning optimal surgical proc...
متن کاملMorphological characteristics of posterolateral articular fragments in tibial plateau fractures.
Treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures is controversial, and information regarding this specific fracture pattern is lacking. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the frequency and morphological features of posterolateral articular fragments in tibial plateau fractures. A retrospective radiographic and chart review was performed on a consecutive series of patients who sustai...
متن کاملRadiographic Signs of Type 3A Schatzker Fracture of Lateral Tibial Plateau
148 Western Journal of Emergency Medicine Figure. Both anterior and posterior margins of the medial tibial plateau are distinctly visible but the anterior aspect of the lateral plateau is not (arrowheads), a subtle indicator of the depressed fracture. Associated sclerosis (arrow) is noted. Lateral image demonstrates a small knee joint effusion (small arrow). Three-dimensional computed tomograph...
