Small wire external fixation for high-energy tibial plateau fractures.
PURPOSE To assess results of small wire external fixation using a ligamentotaxis technique for high-energy tibial plateau fractures. METHODS Between April 2002 and May 2004, 38 consecutive patients aged 21 to 60 (mean, 32) years underwent small wire external fixation for high-energy tibial plateau fractures. 15 involved the right and 23 the left knee. 34 were closed and 4 were open injuries. ...
متن کاملHigh energy tibial plateau fractures treated with hybrid external fixation
Management of high energy intra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia, associated with marked soft-tissue trauma, can be challenging, requiring the combination of accurate reduction and minimal invasive techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether minimal intervention and hybrid external fixation of such fractures using the Orthofix system provide an acceptable treatment ou...
متن کاملBicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with fine-wire circular external fixation
Bicondylar tibial plateau fractures are serious injuries to a major weight-bearing joint. These injuries are often associated with severe soft tissue injuries that complicate surgical management. We reviewed 54 consecutive patients who sustained bicondylar tibial plateau fractures that were treated with limited open reduction and cannulated screw fixation combined with fine-wire circular extern...
متن کاملTreatment of high-energy tibial plateau fractures
Treatment of high-energy fractures of the tibial plateau requires an inordinate degree of surgical effort in order to avoid complications. Fracture reduction can be a challenge to experienced hands and the soft tissue conditions are intolerant of careless dissection. In general, it is an oversimplification to use one technique of stabilisation for such a heterogenous group (even within one clas...
متن کاملFailure of fixation of tibial plateau fractures.
OBJECTIVE To define the failure of fixation in tibial plateau fractures, detect its incidence, and determine the contributing factors. DESIGN Mail survey and literature review were used to define the fixation failure; this definition was applied to a radiologic review of patients who were treated surgically for tibial plateau fracture at a Level 1 trauma unit for a three-year period from 1993...
