“…In addition, the follow-up time is not very long, and further follow-up of the long-term treatment effect of the operation is needed to evaluate the incidence of osteoarthritis and other data. In a future cohort study, we aim to observe and follow up more cases [16]. In summary, for the treatment of Schatzker type VI tibial plateau fractures caused by high-energy impact injuries, double-reverse traction and minimally invasive closed reduction and internal fixation can achieve satisfactory results in a short period of time.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical application of double-reverse traction for minimally invasive reduction of complex tibial plateau fractures. A retrospective analysis was performed to identify all patients admitted to the Department of Orthopedics, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from March 2017 to December 2019 with Schatzker type VI tibial plateau fractures. 12 patients were identified (7 men and 5 women) with an average age of 46.15 ± 13 (39-58) years old. All patients were treated with double-reverse traction and closed reduction. After the fracture was reduced, the bone plate was fixed by percutaneous minimally invasive implantation. Outcomes assessed in this study include operation time and intraoperative blood loss. Imaging was performed during the postoperative follow-up, and functional recovery was evaluated at the final follow-up according to the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and the International Knee Joint Literature Committee (IKDC) functional score. Patients were followed up for 12.54 ± 1.5 (8-15) months. The average operation time was 63.63 ± 21 (35-120) minutes, and the average intraoperative blood loss was 105.45 ± 21 (60-200) mL. The Rasmussen imaging score was either excellent or good in all cases. The knee joint HSS score was 86.15 ± 6 (79-90) points, and the IKDC score was 80.01 ± 11 (75-90) points. No complications, such as wound infection, incision disunion, loosening of internal fixation, and internal fixation failure, occurred. In the treatment of Schatzker VI type complex tibial plateau fracture, the dual-reverse traction minimally invasive technique has the advantages of safety and effectiveness, less soft tissue injury, and allowing early joint movement, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

“…The recent special issue of BInternational Orthopaedicsd edicated to Chinese Orthopaedics is a brilliant example of the management of high-volume databases that represent a huge volume of surgical and medical work [27]. Highvolume work is associated with high-volume publications, and the overall trend is a growth in quantity and quality of published research [28].…”

“…Amazing scientific data is rising from China and the volume of the publications is in exponential increase [23]. We recently dedicated a special issue to our Chinese colleagues and the powerful Chinese Orthopaedic Association lead by Yingtze Zhang from Shijiazhuang [24]. It is probable that the clinical evidence arising from big volume and big series data will bring answers to many of our current questions in terms of patient satisfaction, objective results and outcomes.…”
