Quantifying the Differences between 3D Virtual Planning and Attained Postoperative Reduction on CT for Patients with Tibial Plateau Fractures; a Clinical Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Three-Dimensional Virtual Planning (3DVP) has been proven to be effective for limiting intra-articular screw penetration and improving the quality of reduction for numerous fractures. However, the value of 3DVP for patients with tibial plateau fractures has yet to be determined. Purposes: The research question of this study is: Can Computed Tomography Micromotion Analysis (CTMA) provide a reliable quantification of the difference between 3DVP and the postoperative reduction on CT for tibial plateau fractures? Methods: Nine consecutive adult patients who received surgical treatment for a tibial plateau fracture and received pre- and postoperative CT scans were included from a level I trauma center in the Netherlands. The preoperative CT scans of the patients
