Open reduction and internal fixation of 117 tibial plateau fractures.

چکیده
This retrospective study evaluated the surgical management of 117 tibial plateau fractures treated between 1990 and 1998. At last patient follow-up, results were rated good to excellent in 94, fair in 13, and poor in 10 cases. Follow-up radiographs showed degenerative changes in the lateral compartment in 29 cases. Other complications included five wound infections, two deep venous thromboses, five delayed unions, and three nonunions. Operative treatment of tibial plateau fractures is recommended as it enables better alignment, meniscal access, and other soft-tissue injury repair.

Treatment of Open Tibial Fractures: Convert-ing or Continuing External Fixation?
Background: The treatment of open tibial fractures is still an orthopaedic challenge and full of complications. In many cases the use of external fixator that has been known as a non-union machine is obligatory with a high incidence of pin track infection and other complications. The aim of this study was to compare the use of external fixation as a definite method for treatment of open tibial ...
متن کاملPart I: Arthroscopic management of tibial plateau fractures.
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 appea...

INTRODUCTION High energy tibial plateau fractures along with calcaneal fractures individually produce several challenges for the orthopaedic surgeon. The principles of bony reconstruction include anatomic reduction and rigid internal fixation of intra-articular fractures and accurate restoration of the coronal, sagittal and transverse mechanical axes. Due to the tenuous nature of the soft tissu...
