Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between the Schatzker types and postoperative knee function in tibial plateau fractures .Methods Totally 120 patients with tibial plateau fracture from January 2010 to December 2014 were selected and performed the Schatzker classification according to the X‐ray film ,CT and three dimensional reconstruction .They were divided into 6 groups .The postoperative knee function in each group was followed up and the statistical analysis was conducted .Results The excellent grade distribution of knee function by Kruskal‐Wallis test had statistical difference among 6 groups(P<0 .05) ,in the fur‐ther pairwise comparison ,the significant differences were found between the group 1 and 2 with the group 4 ,5 and 6(P<0 .05) . Conclusion The Schatzker types of tibial plateau fractures is closely correlated with the postoperative knee function .The knee function scores of type Ⅳ ,Ⅴ and Ⅵ are obviously poor .
