Tibial plateau fractures involve the intra-articular portion of the proximal tibia with or without metaphyseal extension. Here, we present the case of a 25-year-old male patient presented with Schatzker type 6 tibial plateau fracture associated with a lateral femoral condyle fracture and a vertical patella fracture fixed with a combination of hybrid ring fixator, cannulated cancellous screws, and a knee spanning frame in Gustilo-Anderson type 3 B injury. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the surgical challenges faced in such types of cases that include the Gustilo and Anderson type 3 B injury with complicated fracture morphology, the implant to be used with his current economic status, and the limited investigations available.
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.
