Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Tibial plateau fractures require precise classification using morphological (AO/ASIF, Schatzker) or functional (Moore) criteria.
  • Effective surgical management is crucial for restoring function and minimizing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review operative procedures and outcomes for acute tibial plateau fractures.
  • To highlight key surgical considerations and complication management.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 81 acute tibial plateau fracture cases undergoing surgery over a 6-year period.
  • Description of surgical techniques including buttress plating, minimally invasive procedures, and bone grafting (autologous cancellous bone, corticocancellous wedge).
  • Review of conservative treatment for ligamentous lesions and management of complications.

Main Results:

  • Buttress plate fixation was used in 61.7% of cases.
  • Autologous bone grafting was frequently employed for depressed fractures (AO/ASIF B3 or Moore IV).
  • Complications were infrequent, with no infections reported.

Conclusions:

  • Optimal surgical outcomes depend on soft tissue balance, appropriate timing, incision placement, and blood flow-preserving stabilization.
  • Specific techniques like bone grafting and buttress plating are effective for tibial plateau fractures.
  • Conservative management remains an option in select cases, and pediatric fractures require tailored approaches.
