Abstract
Introduction: Tibial plateau fractures typically develop between 3rd and 5th decade of life and are caused by motor vehicle accidents and bumper-to-bumper injuries in adults, whereas they develop in the elderly as a result of a minor fall brought on by osteoporosis. Due to the intra-articular nature of tibial plateau fractures, they require solid stabilisation together with the restoration of articular congruity, length, and alignment to permit early range of motion. Objective: To analyse prospectively the functional and radiological outcome of management of tibial plateau fractures treated by minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO). Methodology: 30 patients with tibial plateau fractures who were admitted to the Ortho ward between November 2018 and November 2020 were studied at the GMKMCH Salem. The Functional & Radiological assessment was done based on Modified Rasmussen criteria. Results: We operated on 30 patients (male-24, female-6). Mean follow up period was 12.1 months. Time range required for fracture union were found to be around 11-18 weeks with mean average of 12.96 weeks.3 patients had superficial infection managed conservatively. Conclusion: When treated with MIPPO, tibial plateau fractures have excellent to good functional and radiological outcomes & is in par with literature. There is no significant difference in the functional outcome between single plating in our study and dual plating of other studies at midterm follow up.
