ABSTRACT

As fraturas articulares são consideradas graves e ocasionam incapacidade, principalmente quando atingem uma articulação de carga, como o joelho. É necessário tratamento imediato a fim de obter estabilização dos fragmentos, evitando complicações secundárias. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a capacidade funcional, durante as atividades de vida diária, de indivíduos que sofreram fraturas do planalto tibial e foram submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico entre os anos de 2002 a 2005. Foram analisados 20 pacientes com a aplicação do questionário ADLS (Activities of Daily Living Scale). Concluímos que 85 por cento dos indivíduos apresentaram capacidade funcional próximo ao normal, de acordo com a pontuação estabelecida pela escala utilizada.
