Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to analyse intra articular schatzker type 5 and 6 proximal tibia fractures treated by dual plating. Material and method: The present retrospective study was conducted in the department of KGMC, Lucknow from 2014 to 2018 among 50 subjects who had been treated for a tibial plateau fracture. Their inpatient records were traced from the medical records department. The patients were called for followup. The preoperative data including demographic data, mode of injury, and fracture classification were collected. Radiographic findings including the fracture pattern, displacement of fragments, and depression of fragments were also noted. Computed tomography (CT) scan findings, intraoperative findings, and data regarding the course in the hospital were collected from the inpatient records. After discharge from the hospital, the patients had been followed up in the outpatient clinic at monthly intervals till fracture union and maximal functional recovery. Results: All our patients had 120° and above knee flexion. Four patients had extension lag of less than 5°. None of our patients had deep infection. Functional outcome of our patients was graded by the Oxford Knee Score criteria. 38% of the patients had scores between 40 and 48. Forty percent of the patients had scores between 30 and 39. Conclusion: The results of the present study concluded that open reduction and internal fixation of high‑energy tibial plateau fractures with dual plates gives excellent to good functional outcome with minimal soft tissue complications.
