Triple-incision treatment of the posterior condylar triad in the lateral prone position.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Posterior tibial plateau bicondylar fracture combined with anterior cruciate ligament injury, also known as the "Posterior Condylar Triad", is a regular combination injury. The traditional surgical strategy involves first fixing the posterior condyle in the prone position and then treating the anterior cruciate ligament avulsion injury after the patient turns over. This surgical strategy is cumbersome, requires multiple surgical preparations, prolongs the surgical time, and increases the patient's risk.
