ABSTRACT
Objective To study and observe the clinical efficacy of using non skid plate by posteromedial approach for fixing splitting or compression tibial plateau fracture.Methods Twenty eight cases of patients who were treated for fixing splitting or compression tibial plateau fracture from January 2014 to January 2016 in people's hospital of Xinyu were retrospectively reviewed.All patients were treated byposterior medial approach with non skid plate for fixation,all patients were followed up by postopera tive imaging and clinical follow-up to observe its clinical curative efficacy.Results Twenty-eight patients were followed up,the mean follow-up time was 12 months.All patients had no internal fixation loosening fracture,send,vascular and nerve damage and other adverse reactions.All the patients were healed within 4 to 7 months,the average healing time was 18.5 weeks.After healing,knee joint function was evaluated,18 cases were excellent,5 cases were good,the excellent and good rate was 82.1 ％.Conclusion The efficacy of using non skid plate by posteromedial approach for fixing splitting or compression tibial plateau fracture is good,it is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This study was performed retrospectively and to compare the clinical outcomes of the surgical management using Antiglide plating and lateral plating for Danis-Weber type B isolated lateral malleolar fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 2004 and March 2009, 92 patients were followed up for more than 6 months after surgical treatment. 49 patients were treated with Antiglide plating, whereas the remaining 43 patients underwent lateral plating. The results of the two groups were analyzed both radiographically and clinically using Ankle scoring system. RESULTS: Both groups were comparable for age, sex distribution, time to surgery, and operation time. Bone union was noted at average of 8 weeks in all fractures. The mean ankle score was similar in both groups (94% versus 93%). CONCLUSION: Antiglide plating for Danis-Weber type B isolated lateral malleolar fracture is one of the good methods which has some advantages such as early ankle motion, ambulation and smaller operative incision.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the advantages of the antiglide plate fixation procedure for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fractures of ankle compared to other methods of lateral plate fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 70 cases that antiglide plate fixation and lateral plate fixation procedures were performed from Mar. 2001 through Mar. 2006. Of the total 70 cases, they were divided into two groups ; 22 cases were treated with the antiglide plate procedure (Group I) and 48 cases were treated with the lateral plate procedure (Group II). The results of the two groups were analyzed both radiographically and clinically using Ankle-Hindfoot scale of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). RESULTS: All fractures were healed at average of 8 weeks both radiographically and clinically. According to the Ankle-Hindfoot scale, all cases of Group I and 48 cases of Group II were above 80 points. 2 cases (9%) in Group I complained of peroneal tendinitis, while 19 cases (39%) in Group II showed skin irritation resulting from the screw or the plate. A total of 6 cases (27%) in Group I and 27 cases (55%) in Group II complained cosmetic problems. CONCLUSION: we concluded that the antiglide plate fixation for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fractures is one of the good methods. But, further analysis will be need to find a solution for the peroneal tendinitis.

Objective To assess the clinical results of antiglide plate in the treatment of the Danis Weber type B aged ankle fracture. Methods Totally 36 aged cases of Danis Weber type B ankle fracture received ORIF (open reduction with internal fixation) with antiglide plate. Their functional results were evaluated according to the ankle scoring system. We also observed the complications, including failure of fixation, infection, wound dehiscence, and need for hardware removal. Results The clinical results were satisfactory, with the excellent and good ratio of ankle score being 91.6%. Conclusion Since the antiglide plate has theoretical advantages over the conventional lateral plate, it is recommendable for stabilization of Danis Weber type B ankle fractures.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical results of a combination of lateral buttress plate and medical antiglide plate internal fixation for biocondylar tibia plateau fractures. Methods A total of 26 biocondylar tibia plateau fractures belonged to type Ⅴ and type Ⅵ according to Schatzker classification and treated with open reduction. Lateral buttress plate and medical antiglide plate were applied for limited internal fixation. The follow up continued till fracture healing to observe if there existed bone dislocation and determine the range of knee motion and Iowa knee score. Results No obvious shift of fragment was found in 26 cases with mean range of knee motion for 92? and mean Iowa knee score for 93 points. Conclusion Combination of lateral buttress plate and medical antiglide plate is a good method for internal fixation of biocondylar tibia plateau fractures,but the conclusion needs large number of clinical verifications.
