Functional outcome in Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures
Author(s): Dr. Kirthi Shivalingaiah, Dr. Ullas Mahesh and Dr. Bobby John
Abstract: Introduction: Tibial plateau fractures occur due to a combination of axial loading and varus or valgus applied forces leading to articular depression, malalignment and an increased risk of posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
Aims and objectives: To study the functional outcome in the management of Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures.
Conclusion: Schatzker’s type V and VI tibial plateau fractures represent serious injuries with sustantial residual limb specific and general health deficits. The postoperative functional and radiological outcomes indicate that open reduction internal fixation is a feasible treatment option for bicondylar and complex tibial plateau fractures.
