They were divided into 3 groups according to the internal fixation method they had used. In the single incision locking plate group (group A) of 21 cases, there were 13 males and 8 females with an age of 50.6 years±12.9 years. In the double-incision locking plate combined with reconstruction plate group (group B) of 18 cases, there were 11 males and 7 females with an age of 53.5 years±13.0 years. In the single incision locking plate combined with reconstruction plate group(group C) of 19 cases, there were 10 males and 9 females with an age of 48.1 years±12.2 years. The 3 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy, fracture healing time, incidence of postoperative complications, range of motion of the knee and knee functional recovery. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The 3 groups were compatible because there were no significant differences between them in their preoperative general data (P>0.05).

By the Seinsheimer classification, there were 3 cases of type Ⅱ, 2 cases of type Ⅲ and 2 cases of type Ⅴ. The time from injury to surgery ranged from 9 to 44 hours, averaging 26 hours.

The antibacterial property of an iodine-coated titanium plate is superior to that of a titanium plate without iodine coating. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Iodine; Potassium iodide; Titanium; Bone plates; Infection","PeriodicalId":10145,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma","volume":"22 1","pages":"249-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46413177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
