  • Title: [Operative treatment of tibial condylar fracture].
    Author: Liu J, Rong G.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1998 May; 36(5):264-6, 58. PubMed ID: 11825383.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyse operative treatment of fresh and closed tibial condylar fractures. METHOD: In 92 patients (93 fractures) 87 were followed-up for 12-36 months (average 18.6 months). A rasmussen's 30-point knee rating system was used. RESULT: 74 patients showed (84%) excellent results, 7 (8%) good and 7 (8%) poor. The success rate was 92%. CONCLUSION: To ensure excellent clinical results proper internal fixation should be based on (1) anatomic reduction; (2) adequate rigid internal fixation with screws or buttress plate(s) or both, and bi-condylar fixation if necessary; (3) bone grafting on all depressed areas; (4) early knee mobilization using CPM after the operation and avoiding external plaster fixation.
