“…Recently, balloon-guided reduction techniques for cancellous bone fractures have emerged in various indications, including vertebral fractures, foot and wrist injuries, and tibial plafond and plateau fractures. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]12,13 For articular depression fractures of the proximal tibia, the technique of fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous inflation osteoplasty appears to have several advantages over conventional open reduction techniques. These include minimal soft tissue compromise, improved accuracy of articular reduction, and a lower risk of joint penetration.…”

Anatomic reduction of articular depression tibial plateau fractures is challenging. The authors describe a new technique using percutaneous balloon-guided inflation osteoplasty for a depressed lateral tibial plateau fracture. The fluoroscopy-guided inflation osteoplasty restores the joint surface anatomically in a minimally invasive fashion. The metaphyseal void is filled with a fast-setting fluid-phase bone substitute, and a lateral buttress plate is applied with less invasive incisions. This technique is a valid alternative for indirect reduction of depressed articular tibial plateau fractures.

“…4,5 Recently, this technique was extrapolated to its application for other indications, includ-ing the indirect joint reduction of distal radius, calcaneus, cuboid, tibial pilon, and tibial plateau fractures. [6][7][8][9][10] However, until now, no long-term outcome has been described for tibial plateau fractures treated by inflation osteoplasty.…”

“…Neben der ballonassistierten Versorgung einer distalen Radiusfraktur [18] sowie der des Os cuboideum [17], wird von Reiley [24] erstmalig 2003 die Möglichkeit der ballonassistierten Versorgung von osteoporotischen Frakturen des Radius, distalen Femurs, der proximale Tibia und des Kalkaneus beschrieben. Auf die Ausarbeitung der genauen Technik wird in dieser Arbeit allerdings verzichtet.…”

The management of tibial plateau fractures can be challenging because of the scarcity of soft tissue associated with a high rate of wound healing disorders. Classic open reduction and internal plate fixation require extensive soft tissue dissection and periosteal stripping, and elevation of depressed fragments and maintenance of the reduction is difficult. In the current report the authors describe a novel operative approach to percutaneously reduce depressed tibial plateau fractures using an inflatable balloon in combination with minimally invasive plate fixation. The results of the first 5 cases treated with this technique are reported.

“…The reduction of tibial depression fractures is a challenge demanding highly skilled surgeons [17] but may be more easily achieved using inflatable tamps as have been described in numerous other fields [18][19][20][21]. With this minimally invasive surgical technique, a reduction with less collateral damage and reduced convalescence is possible.…”

Purpose Fractures of the tibial plateau are among the most severe injuries of the knee joint and lead to advanced gonarthrosis if the reduction does not restore perfect joint congruency. Many different reduction techniques focusing on open surgical procedures have been described in the past. In this context we would like to introduce a novel technique which was first tested in a cadaver setup and has undergone its successful first clinical application. Methods Since kyphoplasty demonstrated effective ways of anatomical correction in spine fractures, we adapted the inflatable instruments and used the balloon technique to reduce depressed fragments of the tibial plateau. Results The technique enabled us to restore a congruent cartilage surface and bone reduction.Conclusions In this technique we see a useful new method to reduce depressed fractures of the tibial plateau with the advantages of low collateral damage as it is known from minimally invasive procedures.
