Background: The tibial plateau fracture rates among the top 10 intra-articular fractures in terms of frequency. Due to the extreme displacement of the bony fragments, the accompanying depression and impaction of the cancellous subchondral bone, and the unavoidable cartilage injury, the fracture patterns are extremely complex and difficult to manage. Objective: The study amid to figure out the distribution of Radiological measurement of Schatzker type II Tibial Plateau Fracture by Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal. Methodology: This was a prospective observational study, carried out at NITOR, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2019 to June 2021. Purposive sampling technique was used. Results: The mean duration of radiological union was 13.3±1.6 weeks. The mean angular depression was 0.68±1.1 mm, condylar widening was 0.26± 0.68 mm, and the angulation was 0.480 ±1.50 mm. 64.5% cases were excellent and 35.5% were good at the most recent follow-up. Normal coronal alignments were observed in 87.1% instances upon final follow-up. Conclusion: Schatzker type II tibial plateau fracture by proximal tibial metaphyseal plate gives excellent to good functional outcome with minimal complications, so this is an effective and safe method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
