New trends and techniques in open reduction and internal fixation of fractures of the tibial plateau

V Musahl et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

The operative treatment of displaced fractures of the tibial plateau is challenging. Recent developments in the techniques of internal fixation, including the development of locked plating and minimal invasive techniques have changed the treatment of these fractures. We review current surgical approaches and techniques, improved devices for internal fixation and the clinical outcome after utilisation of new methods for locked plating.
