Features of arthroscopic-assisted reduction of tibial plateau fractures

Abstract

Introduction. Surgical treatment of tibial condyle fractures have been little studied and it represents difficulties up to now. Aim. The aim of the present work was improvement of results of surgical treatment of tibial condyle fractures. Methods. Surgical treatment of tibial condyle fractures is done on total of 65 patients in the department of Sport trauma of Centre of traumatology and Orthopaedics arthroscopy. Results. Good and satisfactory outcomes were achieved in all the patients received arthroscopy treatment. The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of intra-articular fractures of the knee joint, and the analysis of their results contribute to the choice of the optimal surgical treatment. Arthroscopy of intra-articular fractures of the tibial condyles allows for an accurate diagnosis, visual control of the reduction, that is characterized by minimal surgical traumatism, minimal risk of infectious complications, leaves a minimal cosmetic defect, and helps to shorten the length of hospital stay and early rehabilitation of patients. Recommendation. Suggested methods are high effective and can be recommended in practical medicine.
