Treatment of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures with lateral supporting plate and compression screw system / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To investigate the treating effect of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures with lateral supporting plate and compression screw system.[Method]Forty-six cases of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures were treated with internal fixation from the year of 2000 to 2004 in our hospital.All of them were treated with open reduction and internal fixation by lateral supporting plata and compression screw system.Orthopaedic evaluation at latest follow-up included a knee functional outcome and radiographic examination.[Result]Forty-six cases were followed up for 12 to 18 months(averaged,14.4 months).All fractures healed.According to Rasmussen scale,84.8% excellent and good results were obtained.[Conclusion]Most of all bicondylar tibial plateau fractures were stabilized by applying lateral supporting plate and compression screw system.This system help reduce complication rates resulting from open reduction and internal fixation.
