Abstract
StudyDesign Prospective consecutive series. Objective To evaluate the functional outcome of Surgical management of Tibial Plateau Fractures. Summary of Background data Earlier there was great reluctance towards operative management of these fractures because of lack of proper implants and adequate fixation techniques. But now due to the better understanding of biomechanics of knee joint, types of implant, principles of internal fixation, soft tissue care, the treatment of tibial plateau fractures is changing from conservative to surgical depending upon the fracture pattern to achieve good fracture union and optimal knee function. Methods A Prospective study of 30 cases to assess the efficacy and functional outcome of tibial plateau fractures managed surgically by Closed/Open reduction and fixation with various internal fixation devices. Results We found acceptable results in 83.3 % cases which were comparable with several other studies which prove the advantage of Surgical management of Tibial Plateau Fractures.
