A Clinical Study of Treatment of Proximal Tibia Fracture With Locking Compression Plate

Abstract

BACKGROUNDIncidence of fracture of the proximal tibia are increasing regularly due to RTA. Being one of the major weight bearing joint of the body fracture around it will be of paramount importance. The recent development of LCP has revolutionised the treatment by overcoming the few drawbacks of conventional buttress plate. The LCP is an internal fixation system, which is a hybrid of LC-DCP and LISS. The LCP can be applied in three different ways: (a) As compression plate, (b) As combining compression and bridge plating, and (c) As pure internal fixation (bridge plating).
