They principally affect young adults or the"third age" population. These fractures usually have associated soft-tissue lesions that will affect their treatment. Sequential (staged) treatment (external fixation followed by definitive osteosynthesis) is recommended in more complex fracture patterns. But one should remember that any type of tibia plateau fracture can present with soft-tissue complications. Typically the Schatzker or AO/OTA classification is used, but the concept of the proximal tibia as a three-column structure and the detailed study of the posteromedial and posterolateral fragment morphology has changed its treatment strategy. Limb alignment and articular surface restoration, allowing early knee motion, are the main goals of surgical treatment. Partially articular fractures can be treated by minimally-invasive methods and arthroscopy is useful to assist and control the fracture reduction and to treat intra-articular soft-tissue injuries. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Orthopaedic project topics and materials you might be interested in»A survey on the uses and effectiveness of oscillating saw in the removal of circular cast at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital»Management of fracture of tibia plateau - case study of University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital»Management of fracture clavicle - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital
