Abstract:
This issue features papers concerning intra articular fractures that covers surgical managements of fractures of tibial plateau at lower limbs, patella, calcaneus, glenoid cavity at upper limbs, Pilon fracture and Barton fracture. Fracture displacement, articular step off and injury of soft issue that are often associated with intra articular fractures, especially those caused by high energy, make the treatment all the more difficult. The key points for a successful treatment are accurate judgment of the severity of the injury, proper timing of the operation, application of minimally invasive skills, possibly maximum anatomic reduction and alignment of the fracture and maximum functional recovery. The author emphasizes that treatment of intra articular fractures should be individualized.
