Posterior Column Fractures of Tibial Plateau

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of internal fixation methods in patients with posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does the internal fixation of posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept has a good radiological and clinical outcomes in follow up for 1 year? Participants already having internal fixation for their posterior column fractures will do X ray in their follow up visit and answer survey questions about their joint pain, ROM for 1 year.

About this study

The goal of this observational study is to measure the radiological and clinical long term effects of internal fixation methods in patients with posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept by using Rasmussen score

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Skeletally mature patients (18 - 60 years old).
  • Tibial plateau fracture with posterior column involvement classified by X-ray and CT scan
  • Fractures within 3 weeks of trauma

Exclusion criteria

  • Open fracture grade 3 Gustilo Anderson Classification but not managed by internal fixation within 3 weeks of trauma
  • Paediatric fractures.
  • Pathological fractures

Treatment and study plan

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation

Procedure

plates and screws

Primary outcomes

  1. Anatomical reduction of articular surface of tibial plateau by Rasmussen score

    Time frame: From the enrollment to the end of treatment of 1 year

    This score measures the articular depression, condylar widening and angulation. Each result has a value which is summed all together where 18 is excellent, 12-17 is good, 6-10 is fair, less than 6 is poor
