ABSTRACT

Injuries to the ligament, bone and other supporting structures of the knee joint have a tendency to increase becsuse of the increasing traffics, popularity of sports and industrial accidents. It is well known that the knee joint is burdened on motion and weight bearing and structurally it is more frequently injuried than other joints. When there is injury to the knee, it is frequently combined with injury to ligaments and other supporting structures rather than pure tibial condyle fracture. There remains a residual instability of the knee joint because of neglecting of the injured ligaments if treatment is concerned only with tibial condyle fracture. To obtain complete recovery from the injury, early diagnosis, prompt treatment and well planned exercise are important. Thirty patients with ligaments injury and tibial condyle fracture who were treated at the Depsrtment of Orthopaedic Surgery of Wallace Memorial Baptist Hospital from 1983 to 1987 have been reviewed. Through combined operative and conservative treatment, excellant and good results were obtained in 93% of the cases.
