ABSTRACT
The posterior condylar fracture of the tibial plateau refers to the fracture of the posterior 1/3 area of the tibial plateau. Compared with other clinical types such as Schatzker and AO, the three-column theory is more widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of the posterior condylar fracture of the tibial plateau. There are advantages and disadvantages in learning curve, intraoperative risk and therapeutic effect of minimally invasive methods such as posterior and lateral related approaches, circular external fixator and balloon dilatation, which are commonly used in open surgery. There is no consensus on the best surgical method. This article reviews the diagnosis, classification and treatment of posterior condylar fracture of tibial plateau.
