Surgical 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 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 کاملArthroscopic management of tibial plateau fractures: surgical technique.
Tibial plateau fractures are serious articular fractures that are challenging to treat. Arthroscopy-assisted percutaneous fixation is the treatment of choice in Schatzker types 1, 2, 3, and 4 fractures, as it ensures optimal reduction and stable fixation consistent with early mobilisation. The most reliable fixation method seems to be percutaneous cannulated screw fixation, which is less invasi...
متن کاملFunctional Outcome and Incidence of Osteoarthritis in Operated Tibial Plateau Fractures
Background: In the challenging tibial condyle fractures despite anatomical joint reconstruction, development ofosteoarthritis may still occur secondary to the initial articular cartilage and meniscal injury. The aim of the study wasto know incidence of osteoarthritis in our operated cases of tibial plateau fracture and to evaluate functional outcome.Methods: Our operated 60 patients of tibial p...
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...
