Tibial plateau fractures treated by internal fixation with bioglue compound and anatomic plate / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of bioglue compound and anatomic plate in treatment of tibial plateau fractures. Methods 28 cases of tibial plateau fractures were treated by means of open reduction and internal fixation with bioglue compound and anatomic plate. The intervals between operation and injury ranged from 5 to 10 days. The amounts of bioglue compound implanted ranged from 3 to 8 grams. Results All the patients were followed up for 6 to 22 months. All the fractures healed satisfactorily without sunken joint surface. According to Mechant criteria, the result was excellent in 13 cases, good in 11 cases, moderate in 3 cases and poor in 1 case. The total excellent and good rate was 85.3 %. Conclusion Internal fixation with bioglue compound and anatomic plate can result in good effects in treatment of tibial plateau fractures, because the bioglue compound possesses high bone inductive potentialities to repair bone defects.
