Abstract :

 

Fractures of the proximal tibia, particularly those that extend into the knee joint are serious injuries that frequently result in functional impairment. In recent years, with improvements in surgical technique and implants, there has been an unmistakable trend towards surgical management of these injuries. Nevertheless, proximal tibial fractures remain challenging because of their number, variety and complexity. Tibial condlye fractures cover a oad spectrum of injuries with differing degress of articular depression and displacement. The spectrum of injuries to the tibial condyle is so great that no single method of treatment has proven uniformly, successful. Satisfactory results can be obtained using both non-operative and surgical methods of treatment for low-energy tibial condyle fractures On the other hand, tibial condyle fractures that occur as a result of intermediate and high energy trauma in physiologically young patients generally preclude non-operative treatment. Here we have conducted a study to evaluate functinal outcome of different modalities of treatment provided to tibial condylar fractures in terms of Articular Congruity, Joint Stability.
