Schloss MG, Ghulam Q, Hannan Z, et al. - In this study, the outcome and safety of posterior plating of distal tibial fractures were tested. A retrospective case series was performed at a Level I trauma center. Between January 2008 and April 2018, researchers recruited a total of 74 consecutive patients [the mean patient age was 48 years (range, 18−87 years)] with distal tibial fractures treated with anatomically contoured 3.5-mm T-shaped locking compression plate applying a posterolateral technique. The data reveal that usage of a posterolateral technique with a pre-contoured locking compression T-plate for the treatment of distal tibial fractures led to reasonable results with an acceptable risk of unplanned reoperation, even with a high proportion of open fractures commonly staged with external fixation.
