Arthroscopy-Assisted Surgery for Tibial Plateau Fractures: 2- to 10-Year Follow-up Results

Arthroscopic Treatment of Intra-Articular Fractures of the Knee

“…The results of arthroscopic treatment of tibial plateau fractures are comparable or better than open techniques with 80-96% good outcomes depending on the fracture type and the method of evaluation [ 8,9,21,24,41 ] . Late collapse and post-traumatic arthritis are the main concerns, although arthrofi brosis, mal-alignment/ mal-union have been reported in a small number of cases.…”

Arthroscopically Assisted Fixation of the Tibial Plateau Fractures

“…Despite the small amount of studies comparing ARIF with ORIF technique [26,45,51] and studies with an average follow up longer than 3 years) [5,8,26,34,36,[38][39][40]43,44,47,49,[52][53][54]56], the advocates of ARIF suggest, that this technique can have a key role in the management of tibial plateau fractures and is the treatment of choice for associated intra-articular pathology.…”

“…No patient had serious complications such as infection, compartment syndrome, knee stiffness, or deep venous thrombosis, or other related to the arthroscopic technique [43].…”

“…They did not find any relationship between the outcomes and the type of fracture [56]. Chan et al (2008) performed the arthroscopic assisted internal fixation of all types of tibial plateau fractures in 54 patients. The mean age was 48y and the average follow up period 87 months.…”

Arthroskopische Verfahren am Kniegelenk

“…Generell wurden kurzfristig gute Ergebnisse nach HKBEr satzplastiken publiziert, aber in den we nigen Langzeitstudien wurde über eine nicht vollständig wiederhergestellte Knie gelenkstabilität berichtet [57]. Chan et al [29] konnten über 96% gute bis sehr gute klinische und radiologische Ergebnisse 2 bis 10 Jahre nach arthrosko pisch assistierter Tibiakopffrakturversor gung berichten [29].…”
