Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Tibial Plateau Fractures

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Anatomical reduction of articular surface of tibial plateau by Rasmussen score

  This score measures the articular depression, condylar widening and angulation. Each result has a value which is summed all together where 18 is excellent, 12-17 is good, 6-10 is fair, less than 6 is poor

  From the enrollment to the end of treatment of 1 year

Interventions

Open reduction and internal fixation PROCEDURE

plates and screws

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

You may qualify if:

• Skeletally mature patients (18 - 60 years old).
• Tibial plateau fracture with posterior column involvement classified by X-ray and CT scan
• Fractures within 3 weeks of trauma

You may not qualify if:
