Thirty-six tibial plateau fractures in 35 patients were treated with the less invasive stabilisation system (LISS). Patients' mean age was 42 years. There were 27 type C fractures and nine type B fractures according to AO/ OTA classification. The average time to healing was 4.2 months (3-7 months). Deep infection developed in two cases. One patient healed in 6°of varus, and seven patients had an increased articular angulation of 6°(4-8°) in the sagittal plane. There were no cases of loss of reduction, non-union, or deep vein thrombosis. The LISS system could be considered for the management of tibial plateau fractures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
