Study of dual plating in bicondylar fracture, our experience in 25 cases at J.L.N hospital and Research Centre Bhilai (C.G)
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Bicondylar fractures of tibia are common fractures occurring in young age groups. Appropriate management is necessary for optimal function and to prevent complications. Aims and Objectives: To determine the union rate, anatomical reduction and articular congruity restoration, functional outcomes, assessment of surgical approaches and residual complication. Methods: over a thirty month periods, 26 schatzker type five and type six fractures were treated with medial and lateral (dual) plating. Injury classification done on the basis of X ray and computed tomography. Reduction assessment done by immediate post-operative x ray. American knee society score (AKSS) was used to evaluate functional outcome. Results: Eighteen male and eight female, skeletally matured, closed fracture were included in this study group. The maximum duration of follow up was 24 months, complete union shown within 6 months of postoperative period. For bi-condylar fracture tibia open reduction and internal fixation by dual plating offers satisfactory way of early mobilization and restoration of function.
