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...

ABSTRACT The outcome of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with either external fixation (35 patients) or internal fixation (24 patients) was reviewed. Outcome measures included the Rasmussen score, clinical complications, development of osteoarthritis and the requirement for total knee replacement (TKR). Twenty-two (92%) anatomical reductions were achieved in the internal fixation gro...

The aim of the present study is to assess the results of indirect reduction and hybrid external fixation in management of comminuted tibial plateau fractures. The study included 28 patients with high-energy tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker type V and VI). The ages ranged from 22 to 58 years with an average of 35 years. The trauma was a road traffic accident in 16 cases and a fall from a heig...

PURPOSE To review outcomes of open wedge osteotomy of the proximal medial tibia for malunited tibial plateau fractures. METHODS Seven men (mean age, 36 years) underwent open wedge osteotomy of the proximal medial tibia for instability secondary to malunited tibial plateau fractures of Schatzker types IV (n=3), V (n=1), and VI (n=3). Five patients had been treated conservatively and 2 surgical...

OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) literature makes minimal suggestion regarding age of disease onset or preventative strategies to reduce risk for onset in various populations. In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 33.6% of Americans 65+ years old were affected by OA; this cadaveric analysis suggests this is largely underestimated. The objective of this assessment i...

OBJECTIVES 1) To provide specific quantitative data of tibial conformation in Labrador Retrievers and Yorkshire Terriers; 2) To compare the tibial conformation of these two breeds; and 3) To compare these data with previously reported data. METHODS Mediolateral radiographs of the stifle were obtained from 30 consecutive Labrador Retrievers and 30 consecutive Yorkshire Terriers with an angle o...

Treatment of high-energy fractures of the tibial plateau requires an inordinate degree of surgical effort in order to avoid complications. Fracture reduction can be a challenge to experienced hands and the soft tissue conditions are intolerant of careless dissection. In general, it is an oversimplification to use one technique of stabilisation for such a heterogenous group (even within one clas...

BACKGROUND Knee valgus and varus morbidity is at the second top place in children lower limb deformity diseases. It may cause abnormal stress distribution. The magnitude and location of contact forces on tibia plateau during gait cycle have been indicated as markers for risk of osteoarthritis. So far, few studies reported the contact stress and force distribution on tibial plateau of valgus kne...

BACKGROUND Discoid lateral meniscus was a common meniscal dysplasia and was predisposed to tear. There were some anatomical knee variants in patients with discoid lateral meniscus. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between anatomical knee variants and discoid lateral meniscal tears. METHODS There were totally 125 cases of discoid lateral meniscus enrolled in this study fro...

Objective. To review functional outcome in high energy tibial plateau fractures treated by plating. Design. Retrospective analysis. Material and Methods. Sixty-five patients with Schatzker type V and type VI tibial plateau fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation using plates were included in the study. The functional evaluation of the patients was carried out with Oxford kne...
