Functional outcome in Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures
Journal Title: National Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Tibial plateau fractures occur due to a combination of axial loading and varus or valgus applied forces leading to articular depression, malalignment and an increased risk of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Aims and objectives: To study the functional outcome in the management of Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures. Conclusion: Schatzker’s type V and VI tibial plateau fractures represent serious injuries with sustantial residual limb specific and general health deficits. The postoperative functional and radiological outcomes indicate that open reduction internal fixation is a feasible treatment option for bicondylar and complex tibial plateau fractures.
