Proximal Tibial Fractures: Outcome Of Internal Fixation With Locking Plates
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: In this study, we evaluated Functional and radiological outcome of locking plates in proximal tibia plateau fractures. Methods:Thirty-eight cases of tibial plateau fractures were treated locking plates. 16 Cases were treated with low profile pre contoured locking plates from lateral side, 22 cases needed another butteres plate from medial side or posteromedial side. Results: All Fractures were united with mean time of 15.2 weeks, and the mean time of full weight-bearing was 16 weeks. At the final follow-up visit, no patients showed knee instability; the mean range of motion was 119°. Amongst all patients 19 patients had excellent results, 3 with good results, 2 with fair results and 2 had poor result Conclusion: locking plate fixation can be a preferred treatment option for complex tibial plateau fractures with excellent radiological and function outcome but some patient requires double plate for optimal stability.
