Mechanism of injury based classification of proximal tibia fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We treated proximal tibia fractures according to our own CT based classification in which we divided these fractures into different varus and valgus fractures. We also provide a guide for reduction of these fractures and the sequence in which different fractured fragments of proximal tibia should be fixed.

Materials and methods

Patients were identified from the hospital records, treated according to classification based upon mechanism of injury, from August 2014 to December 2016. Patients were called for follow up in outpatient department for evaluation. Functional evaluation was done according to Rasmussen functional grading score.

Results

Twenty one patients of proximal tibia fracture were treated between august 2014 to December 2016 according to our me
