Schatzker II tibial plateau fractures: Anatomically precontoured locking compression plates seem to improve radiological and clinical outcomes

Injury Jul 13, 2020

Prall WC, Rieger M, Furmetz J, et al. - A matched pair retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the radiological and clinical outcomes of anatomically pre-contoured locking compression plates (LCP) compared with conventional plate and screw osteosynthesis in Schatzker II fractures. Researchers carried out to search the institutional databank for Schatzker II fractures between 2010 and 2016. They enrolled individuals that had undergone open reduction and internal fixation with anatomically precontoured 3.5 mm LCP or conventional 4.5 mm l-shaped plates and screws. They examined CT scans and radiographs. They obtained details of the operative procedures and secondary events. manner. This study enrolled a total of 50 patients. In comparison with conventional plates and screws, anatomically precontoured LCP prevent the subsidence of the reduced joint surface fragments more sufficiently and allow for improved patient outcomes. This study's findings demonstrate that utilization of anatomically precontoured LCP should thus closely be considered for internal fixation of any split depression fractures to the lateral tibial plateau.
