Summary
A novel supine anterolateral approach improves visualization for complex posterolateral tibial plateau fractures. This technique allows for direct reduction and stable fixation, potentially reducing malreduction rates in specific fracture patterns.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Skeletal Biomechanics
Background:
- Posterolateral tibial plateau fractures present surgical challenges due to limited exposure.
- Standard anterolateral approaches offer inadequate visualization of the posterolateral articular surface, leading to high malreduction rates.
