About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of internal fixation methods in patients with posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does the internal fixation of posterior column fractures of tibial plateau according to three column concept has a good radiological and clinical outcomes in follow up for 1 year? Participants already having internal fixation for their posterior column fractures will do X ray in their follow up visit and answer survey questions about their joint pain, ROM for 1 year.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Skeletally mature patients (18 - 60 years old).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Anatomical reduction of articular surface of tibial plateau by Rasmussen score

This score measures the articular depression, condylar widening and angulation. Each result has a value which is summed all together where 18 is excellent, 12-17 is good, 6-10 is fair, less than 6 is poor

Time frame
From the enrollment to the end of treatment of 1 year
