Partial proximal tibia fractures

[摘要] Partial tibial plateau fractures may occur as a consequence of a valgus or varus trauma combined with a rotational and axial compression component. In the following article, we focus mainly on unicompartmental AO type B1-B3 fractures. Soft-tissue damage, joint depression and fragment dislocation, as well as bone stock, patient compliance and concomitant injuries, may influence decision-making. However, due to these difficulties, a clear treatment strategy is required to achieve an anatomical reduction and, subsequently, an optimal clinical and functional result.
