Part I: Arthroscopic management of tibial plateau fractures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arthroscopy is a valuable tool for the assessment of tibial plateau fractures and is the treatment of choice for associated intra-articular pathology. In addition, (all)-arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) is recommended for type III fractures and is a consideration for types I, II, and IV. Published outcome studies of ARIF of tibial plateau fractures describe results that appear to equal outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation, but these studies suffer from susceptibility bias.

Arthroscopic management of proximal tibial fractures: technical note and case series presentation
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The purpose of this article is to describe a new surgical method of arthroscopy assisted treatment of intraarticular proximal tibial fractures (ARIF - arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation), analyzing its efficiency and safety on a series of patients. Tibial plateau fractures affect the proximal tibial metaphyseal and articular surface, representing 1.2% of all fractu...
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 کاملOutcomes and second-look arthroscopic evaluation after combined arthroscopic treatment of tibial plateau and tibial eminence avulsion fractures: a 5-year minimal follow-up
BACKGROUND Tibial eminence avulsion fracture often co-occurs with tibial plateau fracture, which leads to difficult concomitant management. The value of simultaneous arthroscopy-assisted treatment continues to be debated despite its theoretical advantages. We describe a simple arthroscopic suture fixation technique and hypothesize that simultaneous treatment is beneficial. METHODS Patients wi...
متن کاملArthroscopic Management for Tibial Plateau Fractures
Twenty-one tibial plateau fractures with 1 to 5 years follow-up are reviewed for the purpose of demonstrating the positive impact arthroscopy can have on patients sustaining this injury. Controversy between open and nonopen management has existed for decades. Arthroscopy bridges that controversy, allowing the advantages of accurate reduction and rigid fixation without extensive operative exposu...

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...
