Factors affecting the results of surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the factors affecting the results of surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures. Methods: Twenty-eight patients (23 males, 5 females; mean age 41.53 years; range 15-68 years) who underwent surgery for tibial plateau fractures (28 knees) were retrospectively evaluated. Fractures and clinical results were evaluated according to the Hohl classification and criteria, respectively. Results: Mean follow-up was 22.14 months (range 5-80 months). According to Hohl criteria, there were nine excellent (32.2%), 13 good (46.2%), two fair (7.1%) and four poor (14.3%) results. Of six patients with fair and poor results, two, one, and three patients had type 3, type 4, and type 7 fractures, respectively. Of 18 patients with 4-6 weeks immobilization, and of 10 patients with 7-10 weeks immobilization two (11.1%) and four (40%) patients had poor results, respectively. Concerning the size of depression detected in control radiograms, patients who exhibited a depression between 0 and 3 mm had excellent (7/13) and good (6/13) results, while in six patients with 4 to 10 mm depression (n=15) the results were not satisfactory. Of 26 patients with a condylar widening of 0-9 mm, four patients had fair and poor results; two patients with a condylar widening above 9 mm exhibited poor results. Four patients (40%) with concomitant fibula fractures (n=10) had unsatisfactory results. Of these, three patients exhibited an angulation of more than five degrees. Conclusion:Fracture type, achievement of an anatomic reduction, duration of postoperative immobilization, and concomitant fibula fractures were found to affect surgical outcome in patients with tibial plateau fractures
