A study on clinical, functional and radiological outcome of high velocity tibial plateau fractures managed by dual plating
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Tibial plateau fractures are intra-articular fractures of major weight bearing joint [1]. These fractures represent a wide spectrum of severity which ranges from simple injuries with predictably excellent outcome after nonperative treatment to complex fracture patterns that challenge even most experienced surgeons [2]. Among wide spectrum of operative management Dual plating via two incision is preferred technique as it has its own advantages when compared to other modalities of treatment such as Lateral locking plate, Hybrid external fixator, Ilizarov, LISS, External fixator with limited internal fixation. Hence this study is done to emphasise the importance of double plating in management of Scahtzker type V & VI fractures based on Honkonen Jarvinen criteria (1992) and reported the results.

Tibial diaphyseal fractures managed surgically by interlocking intramedullary nailing: A prospective study
The tibia is by far the commonly fractured long bone in the human body, as it has got a poor soft tissue coverage and its medial surface is almost completely subcutaneous. Tibial diaphyseal fractures are treated surgical...
Comparison of different treatment modalities for tibial fractures: A clinical study
Background: The management of unstable distal tibia fractures remains Challenging. The proximity to the ankle makes the surgical treatment more complicated. The present study was carried out to compare different treatmen...
Is vitamin D deficiency a modern epidemic in tropical countries?
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem. Prolong deficiency of Vitamin D leads to alteration in calcium metabolism thereby leading to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Deficiency of vita...
A comparative study between swashbuckler approach (Modified Anterior Approach) and lateral approach for the distal femur fractures
Background: Distal femur fractures with intra-articular extension and comminution are challenging injuries, fraught with complications such as mal-union and stiffness. We prospectively evaluated and compared a consecutiv...
Functional outcome of surgical management of floating knee injuries in adults (Ipsilateral femoral and tibia fractures) and its prognostic indicators
Background: Ipsilateral femoral and tibial fractures are termed as floating knee injuries [1, 2]. They range from simple diaphyseal fractures to complex intraarticular fractures. Combinations of diaphyseal, metaphyseal a...
