“…15 90% of our patients achieved acceptable functional outcome, which was comparable to other studies reporting 64% 26 to 91%. 25 In our study, 3 of the 4 patients with unacceptable functional outcome were aged ≥60 years. Elderly patients usually have underlying degenerative changes in the joints that is aggravated after intra-articular fractures; age is a main predictor of functional outcome.…”

“…The mean operating time was 113 (SD, 28; range, 65-180) minutes; the mean length of hospital stay was 3.8 (SD, 1.5; range, 2-7) days; the mean Rasmussen anatomic score was 15.1 (SD, 2.2; range, 10-18); the mean Rasmussen functional score was 25.3 (SD, 3.2; range, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]; and the mean range of knee motion was 118º (SD, 10º; range, 90º-140º) [ Tables 1 and 2]. Anatomic outcome was excellent in 10, good in 28, and unacceptable in 3 patients (one each had Schatzker type-I, -II, and -III fractures).…”

“…Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis also offers advantage in Bicolumn plating for bicondylar tibial plateau fractures [21][22][23] . Usually in conventional methods, bicolumn plating involves two separate incisions which can lead to extensive damage to soft tissues, periosteum and sometimes the viability of the skin and soft tissues in between the incisions can be affected leading to postoperative complications.…”

“…If the open wound is on the lateral side of the tibia, it is thought to be difficult to perform primary MIPO. 6 During high proximal tibial fractures, it is often difficult to secure 3 or more screws with a lateral plate. This may limit immediate knee motion and early weight bearing and may results in late angular deformity.…”
