Abstract:

Appropriate assessment and treatment of tibia plateau fractures are critical for obtaining improved functional outcomes and reduced risk of complications. Purpose: Evaluating tibial plateau fracture treatment in two distinct periods: 2009-2011 vs. 2012-2015. Material and methods: 210 patients with tibial plateau fractures, treated between 1.01.2009 and 31.12.2015 were evaluated. Treatment methods and hospitalisation days were evaluated. Results and discussions: The majority of fractures (62%) were treated surgically. Plate and screw fixation is the method of choice (56%). The number of hospitalisations days was reduced by half in the last 4 years in comparison to 2009. Conclusion: The last four years revealed a strong trend in using modern treatment protocols with better results and less complications
