Research progress in surgical methods for tibial plateau fractures / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

The tibial plateau fractures is basically characterized by the collapse and split of the articular surface, increasing the difficulty of surgical reduction and fixation.The complex soft tissue structure adjacent to the tibial plateau prevents the reduction and fixation of tibial plateau fractures. The injuries associated with the fracture and surgical approach also aggravate the loss of knee joint stability. Therefore, the bony reconstruction and soft tissue protection of the knee joint have been the difficulties during the operation of tibial plateau fractures. The authors review the literatures relevant to the progress in surgical management of tibial plateau fractures from aspects of surgical approach, internal and external fixation technology, application of arthroscopic technique, balloon angioplasty, total knee arthroplasty, digital orthopedic technology and repair of soft tissue injury, hoping to provide references for clinical treatment of tibial plateau fractures.
