Functional assessment and outcome following surgical treatment of displaced tibial plateau fractures: a retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Patients with tibial plateau fractures (TPF) are at risk of long-term hampered bipedal locomotion. A retrospective single-center study using patient-related outcome measures and a sophisticated assessment of walking abilities was conducted.

Methods

Adults receiving surgical treatment of an isolated TPF between January 2012 and December 2016 received the KOOS questionnaire together with the invitation for an extensive follow-up examination on the clinical outcome including standardized assessment of the walking abilities (loadsol^® system). Outcome was assessed relative to the severity of the injury or time to follow-up. Fractures were classified according to AO/OTA and Luo, respectively.
