Efficiency evaluation of treatment for tibial plateau fracture

[Objective]To summarize efficiency evaluation of treatment for tibial plateau fracture,to select optimal treatment for tibial plateau fracture in clinical practice.[Method]Retrospective analysis of 138 patients of tibial plateau fracture in our hospital from January 1999 to January 2003.They were all fresh fracture within 2 weeks after trauma,79 cases male 59 cases female,age 15~76,average 43.5 yrs.95 cases complicated with ligament and meniscus injure in knee joint.according to B 1,B2 were treat with manipulative reduction,traction AO classification and sinking degree,they were divided into type B and type C.type and external fixation of splint.Type B3,C1 were treated with prize-up replacement,grafting and internal fixation with screws.Type C2,C3 were treated with firm internal plate fixation.[Result]133 cases were followed up for 6~36months in 138 cases of tibial plateau fracture,average 23 months.Recovery of knee function were divided according to KDLMERI classification.Type B1B2B3 excellent rate 100%.C1 excellent 14cases,fair 2 cases.C2 excellent 10 cases,fair 8 cases.C3 excellent 6cases,fair 3 cases,badly 2 cases.Recovery of knee fruction excellent 118 cases(88.7%),fair and spoor 15cases(11.3%).[Conclusion]sinking degree of articular surface must be emphasized in treatment oftibial plateau fracture.Satisfied therapy effect can be obtained with early function exercise of knee joint.
