Résumé
[Objective]To investigate the clinical results of open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures.[Method]Sixty-four cases of tibial plateau fractures were treated from January 1994 to December 2000 in our hospital.According to Schatzker classification,8 cases were type Ⅰ,40 cases were type Ⅱ,6 cases type Ⅲ,4 type Ⅳ,3 type Ⅴ and 3 cases were type Ⅵ.They were treated with open reduction and internal fixation and allograft implantation for defective fractures.[Result]Fifty-eight cases were followed up from 1 to 7 years,with an average of 2.8 years.All the fractures united.The satisfactory rate was 84.48% based on Hohl scale.[Conclusion]Internal fixation is an effective method to treat tibial plateau fracture,and the operation procedures should be varied with the fracture types.Complications after operation are closely associated with the fracture complexity.Anatomical reduction,bone transplantation,stable internal fixation,and early functional exercises are effective measures of preventing complications.Early treatment of soft tissue injury must be emphasized especially.
