Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of surgical treatment of fractures of the tibial head is an exact reconstruction of the joint plateau. For this purpose the method of balloon tibioplasty is now available in selected cases. This article and the accompanying video material illustrate the minimally invasive technique of tibioplasty using an actual example of patient treatment. METHODS: This technique offers gentle reduction by slow expansion of the balloon. The large balloon surface ensures that more bone can be lifted carefully at once in order to achieve the anatomical position. The positioning of the balloon requires surgical precision. Balloon reduction creates a well-defined bone cavity of known volume and is stabilized using calcium phosphate cement. Possible risks are cement leakage and secondary loss of reduction. RESULTS: Thus far, results are promising, but long-term results are still lacking. Therefore, the indication should be made carefully and differentiated.
