The results of posterior fragments of lateral tibial condyle osteosynthesis using anterolateral surgical approach

Fractures of the lateral tibial condyle with damage to the structures of its posterior column are quite common. To support damaged fragments, it is advisable to use various modifications of the posterior lateral surgical approaches, but the technical implementation of these approaches is quite complicated and it is accompanied by the risk of damage to large vessels and nerves. The objective of the study - determination of effectiveness of osteosynthesis of lateral tibial condyle fractures with damage of its posterior column using traditional anterolateral surgical approach. Materials and Methods. The study included 25 patients with fractures of the posterior lateral quadrant of the tibial plateau, who underwent osteosynthesis using traditional anterolateral surgical approach. The results were evaluated after 7-10 days (before discharge from the hospital), as well as 1, 3, 6, 9 months after the operation. The amount of movement in the joint and degree of lateral instability were determined...
