ABSTRACT

Introduction: The tibial plateau fractures due to high-energy mechanisms are serious injuries that occur on a load bearing joint. These are difficult to approach because, also affect the bone structure of the leg, they usually have associated soft tissue injuries. Objective: To evaluate the radiological and functional results of high-energy tibial plateau fractures with a minimum follow-up of one year. Material and methods: Retrospective, observational and multicenter study. Analysis of radiological and functional outcomes in the treatment of high-energy tibial plateau fractures, treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) between 2014 and 2019. Results: 54 fractures treated by ORIF. Follow-up one year. 98.1% consolidation in 13 weeks on average. 83.4% without alterations of the axis in the coronal plane. 74% without postoperative joint widening. Functional scores: Lysholm 82.1 average points and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) 39.5 average points. Conclusion: The joint range of motion was reduced after a high-energy tibial plateau fracture, but with good functional results. The less off axis and less post-operative radiographic widening, the better results are obtained.
