A retrospective study to assess the functional outcome of tibial plateau fractures treated surgically with locking plate by Mippo technique-series of 36 cases
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Tibial plateau fractures are usually followed by high-energy trauma. These fractures are difficult to treat because of the involvement of the articular surface, the comminution, and condition of the soft tissues. This retrospective study was conducted between May 2013 to July 2015, 36 patients with closed displaced tibial plateau fractures underwent internal fixation using locking plates by MIPPO technique at St. John’s medical college hospital, Bangalore. There were 27 males and 9 females with an average age of 39 years (range 25-56 yrs).Right knee was involved in 23 cases and Left knee in 13 cases. Mode of injury was road traffic accidents and fall from height. Mean age of the patients was 39 years (range 25-56 years). 17 excellent, 12 good, 5 fair and 2 poor results were observed in the study. All fractures healed after a mean period of 13 weeks (range 8-22 weeks) without bone grafting. A complication encountered was knee Stiffness in 2 patients. No complications were associated with the plate in this study. The use of minimally invasive technique provides good to excellent functional outcome with various advantages.
