Surgical treatment of depression fractures of the lateral tibial plateau using porous titanium granules
نویسندگان
چکیده
The clinical and radiological results were excellent in this pilot study of four cases of depression fracture of the lateral tibial plateau, where, in addition to internal fixation with screws or a buttress plate, porous titanium granules were used to support the elevated articular surface.

The Efficacy of Meniscal Treatment Associated with Lateral Tibial Plateau Fractures
Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of lateral meniscal tears associated with lateral tibial plateau fractures and report the clinical outcomes of meniscal treatment with internal fixation of fractures. Materials and Methods All lateral tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker types II and III) in skeletally mature patients treated operatively at our institution between ...
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 ...

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 کاملPorous Titanium Granules and Blood for Bone Regeneration around Dental Implants: Report of Four Cases and Review of the Literature
A regenerative procedure treating a local osseous defect around titanium dental implant using porous titanium granules is described in four patients. Porous titanium granules represent, for maxillofacial surgery, a new alternative in augmenting osseous defects. Its earliest application was in the field of orthopedics for stabilization of tibia plateau fractures and for reoperations in prostheti...
متن کاملPercutaneous inflation osteoplasty for indirect reduction of depressed tibial plateau fractures.
Anatomic reduction of articular depression tibial plateau fractures is challenging. The authors describe a new technique using percutaneous balloon-guided inflation osteoplasty for a depressed lateral tibial plateau fracture. The fluoroscopy-guided inflation osteoplasty restores the joint surface anatomically in a minimally invasive fashion. The metaphyseal void is filled with a fast-setting fl...
