A prospective study of functional outcome of closed schatzker type V and type VI tibial plateau fractures managed by open reduction and internal fixation
Abstract:Knee joints comprised of the distal femur, proximal tibia & patella. Injuries of the knee must be treated properly to maintain a good knee function. Fractures of the tibia plateau represent 1% of all fractures and approximately 8% of fractures occurring in the elderly. The aim was tostudy the “functional outcome of treatment of closed schatzker type V and type VI tibial plateau fractures using locking compression plate”. In this study, twenty patients with tibia plateau fractures who presented to our casua… Show more
