Ability of modern proximal tibial lateral plates to capture posterolateral tibial plateau fracture fragments.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The surgical treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures involves a challenging and diverse set of considerations, one of which is the lack of proper and satisfactory internal fixations to purchase posterolateral fragments. Evaluating the configuration of internal fixations is often overlooked, despite it being important to outcomes of fracture fixation. This study aimed to (I) propose a new digital methodology of internal fixation evaluation that based on actual fracture cases and (II) evaluate the fixation effectiveness of four commercially available proximal tibial lateral plate-screw constructs for posterolateral fragments.

Methods

Tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral column were retrospectively reviewed. The reconstructed three-dimen
