Treatment of Fracture of Posterior Condyle of Tibial Plateau Using T-shaped Lock Plate through Posterior Approach
Abstract：Objective To investigate the efficacy of treatment of fracture of the posterior condyle of the tibial plateau u-sing the T-shaped lock plate through a posterior approach. Methods The clinical efficacy of T-shaped lock plate for internal fixation of fracture of the tibial plateau in 15 cases was observed. Results All the 15 cases were followed up for an average of 12 months,ranging from 6 to 16 months. All fracture achieved bony union,with the average union time being 12 ± 1. 2 months, ranging from 10 to 18 months. According to the Hohl standard of evaluation for knee function,the efficacy of fracture was excel-lent in 10 cases,good in 3 cases and fair in 2 cases,the rate of excellence and goodness being 86. 7%. Conclusion Adoption of the T-shaped lock plate for fixation of fracture of posterior condyle of tibial plateau through a posterior approach has the ad-vantages of being sufficient in exposure,reliable in reduction and fixation,able to underwent early functional rehabilitation. It is an excellent surgical approach for treatment of the posterior condyle of the tibial plateau.
