Abstract
Background: Fractures of the tibial plateau, which are intra-articular injuries of the knee joint, are often difficult to treat and have a high complication rate, including early-onset osteoarthritis. Various treatment options including proximal tibial plating with locking compression plates are available for the treatment of tibial plateau fracture. Objective: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the functional outcome of tibial plateau fractures treated with locking compression plating; a technique found to effectively reduce post-operative co-morbidities. Material and Methods: This prospective and observational study was carried out in Multicentral base with Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Rajshahi Medical College, Rajshahi, Bangladesh from January 2020 to June 2022. All patients (n=256) enrolled in the study for the study were included and treated with a locking compression plate for tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker III-VI) after receiving informed written permission. Patients were monitored continuously with clinically, radiographically, and functionally at 6-weeks and 3-6 Month, fellow-up after surgery. Results: In our study of 256 cases, the mean age was 37.77 ±15.65 years. Most of the cases were Schatzker type VI (161 patients) 63% and type III (89 patients) 35%. The average duration for fractures union was 23.4 ±2.1 weeks. Superficial wound infection was the common complication seen in (6 patient) 2% cases. At six months, the mean knee society score (KSS) was 85 ±7.22 and majority of patients (245 patients) 95% had good results. Conclusion: The radiological and functional outcome of a locking compression plate is quite excellent. Tibial plateau fractures in adults can be effectively treated with this implant.
