Jail Technique for the Fixation of Unicondylar Tibial Plateau Fractures
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Unicondylartibial plateau fractures with non-comminuted fragments can be treated using cannulated screws. We describe a new reconstructive technique of unicondylar tibial plateau fracture fixation known as “three screw-jail technique” in place of conventional two screw osteosynthesis technique. The advantages of putting an additional “Jail screw” implanted in the proximal tibia from the anterior at an angle of 90o below the two screw reconstruction are prevention of subchondral collapse and prevention of screw cut-outs through the cancellous bone.
