Tibial plateau fractures
Felix Bonnaire, DE
Ian Harris, AU
Fracture mechanisms
• Fractures of the tibial plateau can be caused by a variety
of forces
• Valgus/varus deformation
• Axial compression
• Flexion/extension
• Direct trauma
• Kennedy JC and Bailey WH, 1968, Experimental tibial
plateau fractures. JBJS
Fracture mechanisms
Two subgroups exist:
• Young patients with good bone stock—high-energy
• Elderly patients with osteoporosis—low-energy
Classification of proximal tibial fractures
(41-)
A = extraarticular:
A1 = avulsion
A2 = metaphyseal simple
A3 = metaphyseal multifragmentary
B = partial articular:
B1 = pure split
B2 = pure depression
B3 = split-depression
Classification of proximal tibial fractures
(41-)
C = complete articular:
C1 = articular simple, metaphyseal simple
C2 = articular simple, metaphyseal multifragmentary
C3 = articular multifragmentary
Classification of proximal tibial fractures
(41-)
High-energy trauma
High-energy trauma always involves:
• Extensive damage to the soft tissues
• Contusions
• Open injuries
• Compartment syndrome
• Peroneal, tibial nerve
• Popliteal artery
Low-energy trauma
• Axial trauma
• No contusions
• Closed injuries
• No soft-tissue problem
• Axis deviation
• Fixation problem (osteoporosis)
Low- and high-energy trauma
• In low-energy trauma the problem is mechanical—
fixation in osteoporotic bone
• In high-energy trauma the problem is biological and
associated with damage to the soft tissues
Investigations
• X-ray in two planes
• 45° oblique
• CT (computed tomography)
• MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
• Angiography
Investigations
Personality of the fracture
• Soft-tissue damage
• Degree of dislocation
• Degree of comminution
• Degree of joint involvement
• Osteoporosis
• Nerve/blood vessel injury
Personality of the fracture
Goals of treatment
• Decompression and preservation of soft tissues
• Reconstruction of joint surfaces
• Reconstruction of normal mechanical axis
• Early motion
Nonoperative treatment
• No joint step > 2 mm
• No axial instability
• Severe osteoporosis
• General and local contraindications
Nonoperative treatment
• Traction may be of use in short term
• Early active movements in a cast brace
• Touch weight-bearing if patient’s condition allows
• Weight-bearing to tolerance at 6 weeks
• Nonoperative treatment does well in low-demand elderly
patients
Emergency operative treatment
• Vascular injury
• Compartment syndrome
• Open fractures
• Gross dislocation
• Floating knee
• Polytrauma
Operative treatment—timing
• Rarely as an emergency, unless:
- Open fracture, dislocation, vascular injury …
• Delayed surgery to allow soft tissue recovery and
adequate investigations
- (spanning external fixation may be required)
Delayed surgery
• The use of a temporary spanning external fixator will
allow
• Optimal recovery of soft tissues while preserving length
and axis
Decision-making
• Surgical approaches can be open or arthroscopic
Approach
• Straight anterior
• (Postero)medial
• Lateral
• Mini-open
Approach
Anterolateral approach Posteromedial approach
Operative treatment—Planning
• Bone graft/bone substitute
• Stabilization:
- Distractor?
- Screws
- Plate(s) or
- Hybrid fixator
- Joint fixation?
Intraoperative procedure
• Expose ligamentous and meniscal structures
• Reconstruct the joint surface usually with anatomical
reduction and interfragmentary compression using lag
screws
• Support the joint surface with bone or substitute
• Buttress with plate (conventional)
• Repair of the ligaments or menisci to achieve joint
stability
Clinical cases
Clinical cases
Hybrid fixator for severe soft-tissue
injuries
• Reconstruction of the joint surface
• Reconstruction of stable axes
• Early motion
• Excellent results
Locked internal fixators
• Tibial locked internal fixators are available
• Locking head screws provide better support than
conventional screws in a short metaphyseal fragment
• Percutaneous insertion preserves soft tissues
24-year-old man, 41-C3 IC2
14 weeks
LISS-PLT (less invasive stabilization
system) proximal lateral tibia
LISS-PLT
• Reduction of joint
• Fixation using lag screws
• Restoration of mechanical axis
• Fixation of metaphysis using a LISS
Results
• Depend on fracture type
• Depend on soft-tissue management
• Depend on realization of goals
• Can be excellent even in high-energy trauma:
- average ROM 0/3/120° (87%)
- no deterioration in the 2nd 5 years
- good prognosis
Operative options
Technique for stabilization of the metaphysis depends on:
• Fracture/injury factors
• Patient factors
• Surgeon factors
• Institutional factors
Summary
• Anatomical reduction and rigid fixation of joint surface—
absolute stability
• Functional reduction and stable fixation of metaphysis—
relative stability
• Restoration of joint stability by appropriate soft-tissue
reconstruction
• Early active movement

Tibial plateau

  • 1. AOTrauma Principles Course Tibial plateau fractures Felix Bonnaire, DE Ian Harris, AU
  • 2. Fracture mechanisms • Fractures of the tibial plateau can be caused by a variety of forces • Valgus/varus deformation • Axial compression • Flexion/extension • Direct trauma • Kennedy JC and Bailey WH, 1968, Experimental tibial plateau fractures. JBJS
  • 3. Fracture mechanisms Two subgroups exist: • Young patients with good bone stock—high-energy • Elderly patients with osteoporosis—low-energy
  • 4. Classification of proximal tibial fractures (41-) A = extraarticular: A1 = avulsion A2 = metaphyseal simple A3 = metaphyseal multifragmentary
  • 5. B = partial articular: B1 = pure split B2 = pure depression B3 = split-depression Classification of proximal tibial fractures (41-)
  • 6. C = complete articular: C1 = articular simple, metaphyseal simple C2 = articular simple, metaphyseal multifragmentary C3 = articular multifragmentary Classification of proximal tibial fractures (41-)
  • 7. High-energy trauma High-energy trauma always involves: • Extensive damage to the soft tissues • Contusions • Open injuries • Compartment syndrome • Peroneal, tibial nerve • Popliteal artery
  • 8. Low-energy trauma • Axial trauma • No contusions • Closed injuries • No soft-tissue problem • Axis deviation • Fixation problem (osteoporosis)
  • 9. Low- and high-energy trauma • In low-energy trauma the problem is mechanical— fixation in osteoporotic bone • In high-energy trauma the problem is biological and associated with damage to the soft tissues
  • 10. Investigations • X-ray in two planes • 45° oblique • CT (computed tomography) • MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) • Angiography
  • 12. Personality of the fracture • Soft-tissue damage • Degree of dislocation • Degree of comminution • Degree of joint involvement • Osteoporosis • Nerve/blood vessel injury
  • 13. Personality of the fracture
  • 14. Goals of treatment • Decompression and preservation of soft tissues • Reconstruction of joint surfaces • Reconstruction of normal mechanical axis • Early motion
  • 15. Nonoperative treatment • No joint step > 2 mm • No axial instability • Severe osteoporosis • General and local contraindications
  • 16. Nonoperative treatment • Traction may be of use in short term • Early active movements in a cast brace • Touch weight-bearing if patient’s condition allows • Weight-bearing to tolerance at 6 weeks • Nonoperative treatment does well in low-demand elderly patients
  • 17. Emergency operative treatment • Vascular injury • Compartment syndrome • Open fractures • Gross dislocation • Floating knee • Polytrauma
  • 18. Operative treatment—timing • Rarely as an emergency, unless: - Open fracture, dislocation, vascular injury … • Delayed surgery to allow soft tissue recovery and adequate investigations - (spanning external fixation may be required)
  • 19. Delayed surgery • The use of a temporary spanning external fixator will allow • Optimal recovery of soft tissues while preserving length and axis
  • 20. Decision-making • Surgical approaches can be open or arthroscopic
  • 21. Approach • Straight anterior • (Postero)medial • Lateral • Mini-open
  • 23. Operative treatment—Planning • Bone graft/bone substitute • Stabilization: - Distractor? - Screws - Plate(s) or - Hybrid fixator - Joint fixation?
  • 24. Intraoperative procedure • Expose ligamentous and meniscal structures • Reconstruct the joint surface usually with anatomical reduction and interfragmentary compression using lag screws • Support the joint surface with bone or substitute • Buttress with plate (conventional) • Repair of the ligaments or menisci to achieve joint stability
  • 27. Hybrid fixator for severe soft-tissue injuries • Reconstruction of the joint surface • Reconstruction of stable axes • Early motion • Excellent results
  • 28. Locked internal fixators • Tibial locked internal fixators are available • Locking head screws provide better support than conventional screws in a short metaphyseal fragment • Percutaneous insertion preserves soft tissues
  • 31. LISS-PLT (less invasive stabilization system) proximal lateral tibia
  • 32. LISS-PLT • Reduction of joint • Fixation using lag screws • Restoration of mechanical axis • Fixation of metaphysis using a LISS
  • 33. Results • Depend on fracture type • Depend on soft-tissue management • Depend on realization of goals • Can be excellent even in high-energy trauma: - average ROM 0/3/120° (87%) - no deterioration in the 2nd 5 years - good prognosis
  • 34. Operative options Technique for stabilization of the metaphysis depends on: • Fracture/injury factors • Patient factors • Surgeon factors • Institutional factors
  • 35. Summary • Anatomical reduction and rigid fixation of joint surface— absolute stability • Functional reduction and stable fixation of metaphysis— relative stability • Restoration of joint stability by appropriate soft-tissue reconstruction • Early active movement
