Surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures

ABSTRACT

40 patients with tibial plateau fractures were presented in this work. All these fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. The cases were followed up for an average period of one year and the results were assessed using a numerical score system. Excellent results were obtained in 27 cases [67.5%] of this series, good results in 9 cases [22.5%], fair in 2 cases [5%], and poor results in 2 cases [5%] of this series. Open reduction and internal fixation can be an ideal solve for tibial plateau fractures. Accurate anatomical reduction, stable internal fixation and early knee mobilization are achieved
