Abstract

Data from six small case series suggest that complications are minimal following treatment with the less invasive stabilization system (LISS) for complex tibial plateau fractures. All studies reported low nonunion rates (4%, based on pooled estimates). The overall pooled deep infection rate was 5% (range 0 – 22%). There are no data available to directly compare complications of LISS with other treatment options for tibial plateau fractures. High-quality studies that compare LISS with other fixation methods are needed in order to more fully evaluate the value of LISS in these complex fractures.
