Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of arthroscopic reduction and percutaneous fixation (ARPF) for the treatment of tibial plateau fractures. Methods Seventeen cases of tibial plateau fractures from April 1999 to June 2002 were reviewed. The fractured tibial plateau was reconstructed by “drag-and-draw” reduction and iliac crest bone graft under arthroscope. And percutaneous cancellous bone screw fixation was conducted. Results Clinical bone union was achieved in all the patients at the third postoperative month. No infection or severe osteoarthritis occurred. Conclusions ARPF for tibial plateau fractures has advantages of reduction under direct view, reliable fixation and facilitation for early activities.
