Study of Fracture Patterns in Tibial Plateu
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Tibial plateau fractures must be properly identified before they can be treated. In the Schatzker classification, each increasing numeric fracture category indicates increasing severity and also an increasingly worse prognosis. Aim: To study the fracture patterns in tibial plateu. Material and Methods: In this prospective study 30 cases with closed tibial plateau fractures were studied for their patterns and classified according to Schatzker’s Classification. Results: majority of the fractures were found to be of Type IV (30%), followed by the Type VI (23.33%) and Type V (20%). Rest of the fracture types i.e. Type I, Type II and Type III were not that common and accounted for a total of 26.67% of all the 30 cases. Conclusion: Schatzker’s Classification is easily repeatable in clinical practice, to study the tibial plateau fracture patternsand it can be used as a further tool for surgical treatment.
