Treatment 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 کاملSurgical Technique: Tscherne-Johnson Extensile Approach for Tibial Plateau Fractures
BACKGROUND The standard approach to lateral tibial plateau fractures involves elevation of the iliotibial band (IT) and anterior tibialis origin in continuity from Gerdy's tubercle and metaphyseal flare. We describe an alternative approach to increase lateral plateau joint exposure and maintain iliotibial band insertion to Gerdy's tubercle. DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUE The approach entails a part...
متن کاملSurgical approaches for tibial plateau fractures.
Tibial plateau fractures are common yet complex injuries, and include a wide variety of fracture patterns. They are also potentially associated with significant soft tissue injury. Thus, the surgeon preparing to operate on one of these fractures must choose from a variety of surgical approaches that have been described. The choice of approach is dictated principally by the fracture pattern, wit...
متن کاملSmall 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...
