Meniscal Injuries with Tibial Plateau Fractures: Role of Arthroscopy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Tibial plateau fractures are complex intra-articular injuries associated with variety of intra-articular soft tissue injuries. The load bearing and shock absorbing functions of menisci makes them increasingly susceptible to injury during a traumatic event. Associated meniscal injuries should not be neglected at the time of fracture fixation. We recommend arthroscopy for the diagnosis and proper treatment of associated soft tissue injuries including meniscal injuries, so as to prevent the development of degenerative osteoarthritis
