FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF COMMINUTED PROXIMAL TIBIAL FRACTURE TREATED BY LOCKING PLATE

Most common intraarticular fractures in knee joint are tibial plateau fractures result from indirect coronal or axial compression forces. Tibial plateau fractures constitute 1% of all fractures in the human body and 8% fractures in the older people (1). Tibial plateau fractures include varied configuration of fracture pattern involving of medial condyle (10-23%), lateral condyle (55-70%), in both (11-30%) with variable articular depression. Improper restoration of plateau fracture fragments leads to axis deviation and deformity and premature.
