Abstract:
Proximal tibial fractures, especially high energy ones, can incur unique challenges in clinical treatment. Soft tissue is injured from both fracture and surgical dissection; the fracture often brings with it neurovascular problems; it is difficult to reduce and stabilize proximal fragments. Treatment strategies of dealing with associated injuries, accurate diagnosis, and selection of individualized method for reduction and fixation are emphasized. Soft tissue protection should always be kept in mind during operation.
