Treatment Experience of 16 Cases in Combined with Posterior Condylar Fractures Schatzker types II and III Tibial Plateau Fracture

Abstract

<p><strong>Objective:</strong> Exploring the treatment of combined posterior lateral approach with open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of combined fractures of the ankle on the treatment of tibial plateau fractures with Schatzker types II and III. <strong>Method: </strong>Between April 2012 and March 2015, 16 cases of Schatkzer types II and III tibial plateau fractures were treated with T or L type limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP). <strong>Results: </strong>All 16 cases were followed-up for 12 to 36 months, with an average of 18.3 months. According to the Merchant score, 10 cases were excellent, good in 4 cases, and in 2 cases, the excellent and good rating was 87.5%. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> After treatment, anatomical reduction and stability of the posterior condyle was emphasized, and there were early functional usage and recovery of the joint functions. At the same time, the external side of the incision can be used to restore the external and rear sides to avoid replacement of the body position and improve the operation efficiency.</p>
