Outcomes of Internal Fixation of Tibial Plateau Fractures Involving Posterior Column According to Three Column Concept: Prospective Case Series
Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of internal fixation methods in patients with posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the internal fixation of posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept has a good radiological and clinical outcomes in follow up for 1 year? Participants already having internal fixation for their posterior column fractures will do X ray in their follow up visit and answer survey questions about their joint pain, ROM for 1 year.
Detailed description
The goal of this observational study is to measure the radiological and clinical long term effects of internal fixation methods in patients with posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept by using Rasmussen score
Interventions
- Procedure Open reduction and internal fixation
plates and screws
Primary outcome measures
- Anatomical reduction of articular surface of tibial plateau by Rasmussen score [Time frame: From the enrollment to the end of treatment of 1 year]
