Treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures is controversial, and information regarding this specific fracture pattern is lacking. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the frequency and morphological features of posterolateral articular fragments in tibial plateau fractures. A retrospective radiographic and chart review was performed on a consecutive series of patients who sustai...

hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. we present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. clinical and imaging (radiography, ct) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of Impact of Arthroscopic Percutaneous poking reductionfixation on affected limb function and quality of life of patients with fracture of tibial plateau. Methods: 106 cases of fractures of tibial plateau patients were enrolled in the study. According to visit numbers, they were divided into the observation and control groups. They were treated w...

Post traumatic tibial valga, also known as Cozen’s phenomenon, is a condition of pathologic knee valgus with variable limb shortening in the affected limb. It late-onset complication following previously healed fracture proximal metaphases. The deforming nature raises much concern for patients and their carers. Despite appearance deformity, child frequently asymptomatic. can be treated successf...

BACKGROUND Fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children is a rare injury but notorious for carrying the risk of subsequent valgus deformity of the tibia. HYPOTHESIS Trampoline-caused fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children may not progress into valgus. MATERIALS AND METHODS We followed up six children who collectively sustained seven fractures of the proximal tibial...

As health care in the United States transitions toward a value-based model, there is increasing interest in applying cost-effectiveness analysis within orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic trauma care has traditionally underemphasized economic analysis. The goals of this review were to identify US-based cost-utility analysis in orthopedic trauma, to assess the quality of the available evidence, and t...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with posteromedial tibial plateau fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through a posteromedial approach. Thirty-six patients with posteromedial tibial plateau fracture underwent ORIF through a posteromedial approach and were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-operative X-ray pictures and CT images wer...

BACKGROUND Locking compress plate, as external fixator, is an attractive technique for distal tibial fracture treatment. But it still remains unclear whether the external LCP has sufficient stiffness. Thus, the present study aims to make a comprehensive evaluation of the stiffness of external locking compress plate when it is used as an external fixator in distal tibial fractures treatment. M...

INTRODUCTION Tibial eminentia avulsion fracture is the paediatric equivalent to a midsubstance anterior cruciate ligament injury. It is most common between the ages of 8 and 19 years of age. The incidence is three per 100,000 per year. We explored the clinical evaluation and classification of the fracture, indications for and methods of surgery and the possible sequelae. METHODS We performed ...

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 ...
