Joint line plate fixation for tibial plateau fractures caused by hyperextension varus.

ABSTRACT: The present study evaluated the outcomes of internal fixation with a joint line plate in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures caused by hyperextension of the varus. The study included 25 cases (13 males and 12 females; age, 19-71 years) of tibial plateau fracture caused by hyperextension of the varus, which were treated at Puai Hospital, Tongji Medical College (Wuhan, China) between January 2015 and June 2017. Fractures were treated with internal fixations of the inner cortex with a self-clipped joint line plate made of steel. After the surgery, patients were examined immediately and at 3, 6 and 12 months. Healing was evaluated by X-ray examination. All cases were cured during follow-up. After surgery, one patient developed partial necrosis of the skin margin of the incision and recovered after a dressing change. Furthermore, one patient with a concomitant peroneal nerve injury and hypoesthesia recovered after treatment with neurotrophic drugs. No screw loosening, fractures or failure of the internal fixations occurred. According to the X-ray results, there were significant differences in the tibial plateau angle (TPA) and medial posterior slope angle (m-PSA) between the pre-operative stage and 12 months post-operatively (P<0.05). However, no significant differences in either the TPA or m-PSA were present between the immediate post-operative stage and 12 months post-operatively (P>0.05). In conclusion, internal fixation with a joint line plate is an appropriate treatment for tibial plateau fractures involving the anteromedial margin with good clinical efficacy.

Arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous fixation of tibial plateau fractures.

Project description:Tibial plateau fractures present a difficult range of fractures to treat. Arthroscopy allows for a less invasive option when compared with arthrotomy. Furthermore, visualization of the articular surface arthroscopically can allow for a precise reduction and assessment of any concomitant injuries to the articular cartilage and meniscus. By use of arthroscopy, unicondylar lateral plateaus were traditionally approached through a laterally based metaphyseal window. However, in carefully selected patients and fracture patterns, a medially based, arthroscopic-assisted approach can create long bony tunnels for subchondral support and allow for greater ease in fracture reduction. We present our technique using a medial approach for arthroscopic-assisted fixation of lateral tibial plateau fractures.

Percutaneous Reduction and Internal Fixation for Monocondylar Fractures of Tibial Plateau: A Systematic Review.

Project description:Instead of extensive dissection of soft tissue around the fracture site, percutaneous techniques have unique advantages in managing displaced fragments, including preservation of soft tissues, less blood loss, lower risk of complications, and earlier functional rehabilitation. However, there are few systematic reviews on the effects of percutaneous reduction and internal fixation (PRIF) for tibial plateau fractures. A systematic search of Cochrane, EMBASE, and MEDLINE databases was performed for all publicly available data in March 2017 regarding the use of PRIF in treating monocondylar tibial plateau fractures. Basic information of included articles, surgical information, clinical outcomes, and concomitant soft tissue injuries were collected for analysis. Finally, a total of 20 articles including 561 patients were retrieved. Traffic accident was the most common cause of injury. Percutaneous techniques using bone tamp reduction were described in all studies. The majority (≥85%) of patients were classified as excellent or good according to clinical and radiological Rasmussen scores. The overall complication rate was 6.6%, with loss of reduction the most frequent complication with an incidence of 2.4%. This systematic review indicated that PRIF was an optimal alternative that physicians should consider for the treatment of monocondylar tibial plateau fractures.

Tibial Plateau With Arthroscopic Reduction-Internal Fixation.

Project description:Arthroscopic-assisted internal fixation is an ideal technique for visualizing chondral reduction during tibial open reduction-internal fixation. Typically, open reduction-internal fixation is performed using radiographic and Fluoroscan imaging (Hologic, Bedford, MA) for reduction of subchondral bone. However, reduction without visualization does not ensure chondral surface reduction. This Technical Note and supplemental video describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique involving the tibial plateau that gives complete visualization as tamping occurs to restore the cartilage surface of the subchondral bone and elevate the fracture.

Malreduction of tibial articular width in bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with circular external fixation is associated with post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Project description:ObjectivesWe aimed to report outcomes of Bicondylar Tibial Plateau (BTP) fractures treated using Ilizarov fixation, and identify risk factors for developing post-traumatic radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA).MethodsRetrospective study of 80 BTP fractures managed with Ilizarov fixation.ResultsAll fractures united, with only 3 cases of deep infection. ROA was evident in 12.5% at average 13 months post-injury. Increased tibial articular-widening associated with risk of developing ROA (p?=?0.02).ConclusionIlizarov fixation is safe and reliable in the management of BTP fractures. Restoration of tibial articular-width at fixation associated with reduced risk of developing radiographic OA.

Comparison between open reduction with internal fixation to circular external fixation for tibial plateau fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:Peer-reviewed published studies on tibial plateau fractures treated with either open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) or circular external fixation were reviewed to compare functional, radiological outcomes, postoperative complications, and reoperation rates between the two methods. A systematic search of various databases including Medline, Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from inception until June 2019 was performed. 17 studies with 1168 participants were included in the review. Most of the studies (76%) were retrospective in nature and had low or unclear bias risks. Incidence of total infection (Odds ratio [OR], 2.58; 95% CI, 1.33-5.02) and malunions (OR, 2.56; 95% CI, 1.12-5.84) were higher and length of hospital stay was shorter in patients treated with circular external fixator (Mean difference [MD], -6.1; 95% CI, -11.1--1.19). There were no differences in the incidence of secondary osteoarthritis (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 0.92-2.42), range of motion (MD, 2.28; 95% CI, -11.27-15.82) non-union (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 0.14-14.27) and reoperation rates (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 0.90-3.78) between the two groups. Results from this investigation suggest that circular fixation may offer some advantages over ORIF such as a shortened length of hospital stay and early return to preinjury activities. Definitive clinical recommendations cannot be made as it also presents higher rates of postoperative complications than ORIF.

Combined Medial Plate and Intramedullary Nailing for the Fixation of Extra-Articular Proximal Tibial Fractures: a Biomechanics Study.

Project description:Purpose: The extra-articular proximal tibial fractures continue to have high malunion rates despite development in intramedullary nailing (IMN) technology. Combined plate and IMN fixation can increase mechanical stability. The purpose of this study was to investigate combined plate and IMN for the treatment of extra-articular proximal tibial fracture using a biomechanical model. Methods: A 10-mm defective osteotomy was created in the fourth-generation composite tibia to simulate extra-articular proximal tibial fractures (AO/OTA 41A2). The fractures were stabilized with IMN alone (IMN group), IMN with supplementary medial plate (M-IMN group), and IMN with supplementary lateral plate (L-IMN group). The biomechanical properties of each specimen were tested under axial compression loading, bending stress, and cyclic loading. The maximum displacement of the fragments and implant-bone construct failure was recorded. Results: The maximum displacement of the M-IMN group was significantly less than either the L-IMN or IMN group in both axial compression loading and bending stress (p < 0.05 for both comparisons). All specimens in the three groups survived in 10,000 cyclic loading without hardware deformation. The maximum stiffness of failure was similar between the M-IMN and L-IMN groups, but the IMN group was statistically lower than either the L-IMN or the IMN group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated that combined medial plate and IMN fixation could effectively increase the mechanical stability of proximal tibial fractures.

Arthroscopic absorbable suture fixation for tibial spine fractures.

Project description:The purpose of this technical note and accompanying video is to describe a modified arthroscopic suture fixation technique to treat tibial spine avulsion fractures. Twenty-one patients underwent arthroscopic treatment for tibial spine avulsion with our technique; they were clinically and biomechanically evaluated at 2 years' follow-up and showed optimal clinical and radiographic outcomes. Repair with this arthroscopic technique provides a significant advantage in the treatment of type III and IV fractures of the tibial eminence by obtaining arthroscopic fixation within the substance of the anterior cruciate ligament: suture methods based on the avulsed bone fragment are technically impossible, but sutures through the base of the ligament itself provide secure fixation, reducing the risks of comminution of the fracture fragment and eliminating the time for hardware removal. This arthroscopic technique restores the length and the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament and provides a simplified, reproducible method of treating patients, including young patients, with low hardware costs in comparison to sutures using anchors or other hardware.

Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis versus intramedullary nail fixation for distal tibial fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundThe treatment for distal tibial fractures remains controversial to date. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) and intramedullary nailing (IMN) are well-accepted and effective methods for distal tibial fractures, but these methods were associated with complications. This study aimed to assess and compare the clinical and functional outcomes in patients with distal tibial fractures treated with MIPPO or IMN.MethodsWe systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared MIPPO with IMN in patients with distal tibial fractures from inception till 15 August 2019. Also, quantitative summaries of time to reunion, rate of complications, and functional outcomes were evaluated.ResultsThe pooled results suggested that patients in the MIPPO group had a longer time to reunion with a mean difference of 1.21 weeks [P = 0.02; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16-2.26)] than those in the IMN group. The overall union complications and deep infection between IMN and MIPPO were similar (P > 0.05). IMN had a significantly low risk of wound complications [risk ratio (RR) = 0.51, P = 0.00, 95% CI 0.34-0.77)]. The pooled functional outcomes of the two groups remained controversial by different evaluating scores.ConclusionsCompared to MIPPO, IMN had a significantly low risk of wound complications and associated with limited time for reunion. Although the pooled functional outcomes of the two groups were controversial due to different evaluating scores, IMN was the preferred surgical technique than MIPPO for treating distal tibial fractures.

Angle Stable Interlocking Intramedullary Nails for Tibial Plateau Fractures.

Project description:ObjectiveAngle stable interlocking intramedullary nail (ASIN), a novel technique, has rarely been used for treatment of tibial plateau fractures (TPF). This retrospective study was designed to introduce this novel technique, ASIN, as well as to describe the initial experience and verify the effectiveness when ASIN was used for the management for TPF.MethodsA cohort of 19 cases with closed TPF aged from 18-70 years with at least 23 months follow-up from November 2008 to September 2013 was analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent the ASIN procedure, which was performed by the same group of surgeons. Perioperative and postoperative parameters like the measurement of radiographic pictures, surgical data, and clinical function were recorded including the changes in treatment. A modified Hohl-Luck radiological and functional score combined with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score were applied to evaluate the final results and to provide reliable data through the whole procedure when applying the ASIN procedure.ResultsThe patients were followed up regularly for an average of 26.3 (range, 23-34) months. All patients achieved a bony union at an average of 15.1 weeks with no incidences of malunion, nonunion, or infection. Anatomical reduction of the articular surface was obtained in 16 patients. No secondary failure of fixation occurred. The mean postoperative knee flexion was 122.9°. The modified Hohl-Luck radiological and functional score was excellent and good, respectively, in 16 patients. The mean HSS score was 89.4.ConclusionThe angle stable interlocking intramedullary nail system turned out to be a viable alternative protocol in the treatment of tibia plateau fractures and provided satisfactory results, with good fracture reduction, biomechanical fixation, low rates of complications, and passable postoperative knee function.
