Patients in Group 1 underwent single-incision, single-plate knee surgeries via an antero-lateral approach, and patients in Group 2 underwent anterior median incisions of the knee for double-plate surgeries. The effects of the approaches were compared and analyzed. The best time to perform surgery was 6–8 days post-injury.

2025年2月25日 · A study done in 2017 by Unno et al. concluded that in a model where surgery is performed without delay (within 72 hours) by experienced orthopaedic trauma surgeons, a large proportion of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures can be safely treated with early definitive surgery which was also associated with satisfactory postoperative radiographic ...

At Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), patients with tibial plateau fractures are managed with non-weight-bearing for three months with progression to partial and full weight-bearing per the surgeon. They are put in a Bledsoe hinged knee brace if there is significant varus/valgus laxity.

A total of 2331 patients were treated for a tibial plateau fracture between 2003 and 2019, of which 61 had and isolated tibial eminence avulsions (e.g., cruciate ligament injuries), 115 were aged < 18 years, 191 had died at follow-up, 82 had co-existing conditions complicating outcome measurement (e.g., Parkinson, paralysis), 4 had an ...
