Abstract
We treated 40 tibial plateau fractures [1] in 39 patients with a mean age of 41.2 (20-70) years with Ilizarov ring fixator. All fractures were the result of high energy trauma, and 18 patients had associated injuries [2]. 38 fractures were available for long term follow up after 28 (16-38) months. Using the Knee Society Clinical Rating System, 28 knees were rated as excellent, 9 as good, 2 as fair and 1 as poor. The most significant concomitant injuries were distal femoral fractures and massive soft tissue injury. This study emphasizes the clinical success and low morbidity associated with the use of Ilizarov fixator.
