Abstract:Surgical management of posterolateral tibial plateau (PLTP) fractures is challenging. One reason for this challenge is the lack of suitable internal fixation devices. Our aim was to introduce a novel plate via the anterolateral approach for managing PLTP fractures. The biomechanical testing and finite element analysis (FEA) were performed. PLTP fracture models were created using synthetic tibias (n = 10 within each group). These models were randomly assigned to three groups (groups A-C) and fixed with the late… Show more
