Abstract

Treatment of tibial plateau fractures is difficult due to associated injuries, hence pre‐operative planning is essential. Basic goal is to reconstruct the articular surface followed by achievement of full function of knee. Conservative treatment by traction, bracing and cast application rarely permits accurate reconstruction and reduction of fractures and not practical in presence of soft tissue compromise. Unilateral plating, screws, dual plating and external fixators are being used in treatment of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures with their own benefit and pitfall. Patients with final diagnosis of Tibial Plateau Fracture presented to Orthopaedics out Patients Clinic and Emergency were signed informed consent enrolled in the study. A detailed history regarding demographic profile, modes of injury, associated injuries, and comorbidities were recorded in preset proforma. A through general physical and systemic examination was carried out to look for underlying exclusion criteria. In this study, there were four cases (16.66%) of malunion in plate and screw group and 7 cases (29.1%) of malunion in hybrid ilizarov group as evident by intra‐articular step off greater than 2 mm. In this study, there was single (4.1%) case of nonunion in plate and screw group whereas all the fractures were united in hybrid ilizarov group.
