Discussion on Articular Surface Reduction and Therapeutic Effect of Tibial Plateau Fractures

Objective:To discuss the relation of articular surface reduction and therapeutic effect of tibial plateau fractures.Methods:To review all aspects of 46 patients, including tibial plateau fracture type, operative management and associated injuries, were documented. Preoperative and postoperative follow-up radiographs were analyzed for fracture classification and adequacy of reduction.Results:Thirty-seven patients were followed-up for 1～7 years,the results were excellent in 21 cases,good in 13 cases,poor in 3 cases.Conclusions:Open reduction and articular surface reduction is a key technique for the treatment of the plateau fractures.
