[The therapeutic options in tibial plateau fractures]

The authors report their experience in 49 fractures treated in the interval 1984-1988. In this series, 75.5% of the cases were treated by conservative methods (functional treatment-plaster-cast, continuous extension), the remainder of 24.5% benefiting from a surgical intervention (bolting, screws, uni- or bicondylar plates). In both circumstances, rehabilitation was par, of the treatment. The analysis revealed 61% good and very good results.
