Background: Tibial plateau fracture is challenging for orthopedic surgeons because of the severity of trauma and associated soft tissue injuries. The treatment goals are to anatomically reconstruct the proximal tibial articular surface, restore limb axial alignment, and fix metadiaphyseal comminution to allow early knee mobilization and weight bearing. Aim: To evaluate the functional, clinical and radiological outcomes of treatment of high energy tibial plateau fractures by circular external fixator ± percutaneous screw fixation.
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.
