Abstract
Operation was carried out on 110 fractures of the tibial plateau. Fractures of a single condyle were the most common. Associated ligamentous injury was present in 12.7% of the patients and a meniscal lesion was seen in 15.5%. The meniscus was preserved if possible. Satisfactory results were obtained in 79% of cases, with good correlation between the clinical result and the radiological appearance at review. The late complications and technical difficulties are discussed and the difference in prognosis between simple and complex fractures is emphasised.Entities:
