ABSTRACT

Background: tibial plateau fractures are very common. For treating this kind of fracture, it is necessary to know its mechanism of injury, degree of articular depression, state of associated soft tissue and joint stability.
Objective: to show the behavior of patients with tibial plateau fractures.
Methods: a descriptive, observational study was conducted in the Orthopedics service at Manuel Ascunce Domenech Provincial Teaching Hospital in Camagüey from May, 2009 to October, 2012. The non-probabilistic sample was composed of 48 patients that fitted the selection criteria.
Results: male sex predominated in a male-female proportion of 1, 4 to 1. Fractures of the external condyle were the most frequent in the 58, 3 % of the patients. Fractures type I and V according to Schatzker J. classification were the most common with a 37, 5 % and 20, 8 % respectively. Surgical treatment was the most applied, indicated in the 56, 2 % of the cases. Excellent (22, 2 %) and good (55, 5 %) results according to Rasmussen PS scale predominated.
Conclusions: male sex predominated in patients younger than 45 years old. The lateral tibial plateau was the most affected. Surgical treatment was the most used. Excellent and good results were the most frequent.
