Abstract :

Schatzker�s type V &VI fractures occur due to high velocity trauma. They contribute to 20 – 40 % of tibial plateau fractures. The use of Isolated Lateral Locking plate and Dual Plates is still a debate. The aim of this study is to prospectively analyze the clinical, functional and radiological outcome of high velocity tibial plateau fractures managed by dual plating. Our study reported Honkonen Jarvinen Clinical outcome to be 80.5% excellent and17% good. The functional outcome was 70.7 % excellent and 19.5 % good. The Radiological outcome showed 85.4 % excellent and 12.2 % good results.
