Thirty cases of the tibial condylar fracture which treated Inchon Choong Ang Gill Hospital during the period from March, 1983 to February, 1986, the thirty cases could be followed for one year to four years. They have been analyzed according to its cause, classification, treatment and result. Among these 12 cases(40.0%) were treated by cast immobilization, 1 case(3.3%) by skeletal traction, 17 cases(56.7%) by open reduction and internal fixation. Twenty-three cases(76.7%) out of thirty revealed the rating of ACCEPTABLE according to Hohl and Lucks criteria.
