Comparison of surgical treatment results and clinical and radiological findings of tibial plateau fractures

Abstract

Introduction:In this retrospective study, it was aimed to evaluate the correlation between operative treatment results and clinical and radiological findings of tibial plateau fractures. Patients and Methods: Between 1996 and 2006, 33 knees were operated for tibia plateau fracture of 32 patients. 29 patients were male and 3 were female. Only 3 cases (9.99%) were open tibial plateau fractures. The mean age was 45 years. Fractures classified using the Schatzker classification were: 17 (52%) type 1, 12 (12%) type 2, 9 (27%) type 5 and 6 (9%) type 6. Patients following the period were at least 44 weeks and maximum 480 weeks (mean 60 weeks). Results: The results of 33 patients were determined by the clinical and radiological system of Rasmussen. According to clinical findings, 17 cases were excellent, 9 were good, 6 were medium and 1 was poor. According to the radiological findings, 9 cases were excellent, 16 were good, 6 were medium and 2 were bad. The difference between clinical and radiological findings was analyzed with Pearson core analysis and statistically significant (p < 0.005). Comparison was made according to the time between injury and operation and no statistically significant difference was found (p > 0.005). The analyzes of the grade of fracture and the degree of fracture were statistically significant (p < 0.005). 42.4% of all patients had meniscus injury. Therefore, arthroscopy should be used with surgery. Conclusion: Anatomic reduction, rigid fixation of the joint and early mobilization can reduce complications and improve the function of the knee joint in tibial plateau fractures.

Functional and Radiological evaluation of management of tibial plateau fractures: A prospective study

“…A study conducted by the Haq et al (2017) observed that out of 92 participants, 77(84%) were males and 15(16%) were females. A study conducted by the Kehribar and Karapinar (2019) observed that 29(87.9%) were males and three (12.1%) were females. A study conducted by the Swarup et al (2016) observed that out of 60 study participant, 78% were males & 22% were females.…”

“…It was observed that all 50 patients participated in the study were having poor clinical analysis score. A study conducted by the Kehribar and Karapinar (2019) observed that as per the clinical indings, 17 cases were excellent, nine were good, six were medium and one was poor.…”

“…It was observed that out of 50 study participants 16 (32%) patients were having good radiological analysis score, 22 (44%) study participants were having fair radiological analysis score and 12 (24%) were having poor radiological analysis score. A study conducted by the Kehribar and Karapinar (2019) observed that in the radiological indings, nine cases were excellent, 16 were good, six were medium and two were bad.…”

“…It is a very high possibility for this effect to cause an increase in diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, and anterior cruciate ligament damage. The fact that work places, schools and other institutions were rarefied or completely closed according to pandemic conditions during the process has caused individuals to spend their lives at home and do all their jobs in front of the computer (Kehribar & Karapinar, 2019;Tural, 2020;Kayaalp et al, 2020).…”
