Arthroscopic-Assisted Reduction of Depressed Lateral Tibial Plateau Fracture Using Precision Drill Guide and Fresh-Frozen Femoral Head Allograft

ABSTRACT: In the patient with osteoporosis, tibial plateau fractures can occur after high-energy trauma or low-energy trauma. Arthrosis will rapidly progress if the depressed articular surface is left untreated. Therefore, the depressed articular surface should be treated by anatomical reduction. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic-assisted reduction depressed lateral tibial plateau fracture using a precision drill guide and fresh-frozen femoral head allograft. Technique Video Video 1 An arthroscopic view of the right knee viewing from the anteromedial portal from a patient who had depressed lateral tibial plateau fracture and underwent arthroscopic-assisted reduction in the supine position. Anatomic reduction is confirmed by arthroscopic visualization via the anteromedial portal.
