Yadav Rohit Sunil Dr. July 2019 8 7 01 02 ABSTRACT

Displaced intra–articular tibial plateau fractures are seen with increasing numbers and severity due to a fast–paced modern lifestyle amongst the general population leading to a greater number of road traffic accidents. These fractures could be severely debilitating and could lead to a complete loss of knee joint function if not treated with the most efficient and appropriate operative techniques. In our present study, we have analyzed the factors that affect the outcome of displaced intra–articular tibial fractures treated surgically by dual incision and dual plating. The aim of this study is to establish the efficacy of dual plating in treating Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures, enabling a relatively stable and mobile knee joint for the patient post–operatively
