Abstract:
There is a lack of ideal clinical classification systems for posterior tibial plateau fractures, and they need to be perfected in clinical practices. There are controversies over surgical approaches due to special characters of posterior tibial plateau fractures. It is difficult for the conventional techniques and approaches to achieve satisfactory reduction and fixation. A modified posterior approach is an ideal approach for the treatment of posterior tibial plateau fractures. This paper summarizes the classification, approach and internal fixation of posterior tibial plateau fractures.
