“…The tibial plateau fractures occurred predominantly in young adult males. Our results were consistent with those found at Limoges in 2011 and at the Ouahigouya two years later [3,4]. This can be explained by the fact that this population group is hyperactive and are therefore more exposed to trauma.…”

Background: Tibial plateau fractures are a frequent reason for hospital admissions in traumatology. Their incidence is on a rise because of the advent of motor cycles in correlation with the embryonic state of urbanisation in our country. Also, their management is not always adequate given our peculiar socioeconomic context and the still frequent, resort to traditional bone settlers at the expense of codified conventional methods all these in a poor resource country with a health system whose technical facilities are not homogenous. Methodology: We carried out a descriptive ambispective cross sectional study over a period of 05 years at the Orthopaedic and Traumatologic Surgery wards of Yaoundé Central Hospital. Results: Our results are based on the evaluation of a sample of 84 patients. In our series, the mean age of injured patients was 46.2 years with a male predominance (sex ratio=1.8). Motor cycles accidents were the main aetiologies (69%). All the 80 patients who opted for surgery globally had good results (83.3% after a follow-up period of 28.5 months) as compared to the patients who received orthopaedic treatments which all presented poor functional results according to the IKSS (International Knee Society score) criteria. Patients with unstable incomes were four times more proned to have poor functional results following treatment and two times more proned to consult traditional bone settlers («Yanda»).

“…Good results are obtained by using this method ( Cristea et al, 2010) in the surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures. This technique is adapted to resolve all tibial fractures type, not only Schatzker I -III, like some authors ( Siegler et al, 2011 ). The advantages of this method are: minimal blood lost, small infection rate, good mobilization of the knee without pain, cheaper implants, reproductibility of the technique, it can be made in emergency, cost -efficient.…”
