Implementing 3D fluoroscopy in the management of tibial plateau fractures: Shorter hospitalization and decline in revision surgery, but increase in the duration of surgery and radiation exposure.

Background: Intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy (3DRX) is increasingly used in fracture management instead of conventional fluoroscopy (RX), but its effect on the treatment and outcome of tibial plateau fractures (TFs) is not well known. This study aims to evaluate whether the use of 3DRX in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures reduces the number of revision surgeries.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes all patients who underwent surgical treatment for TF in a single center from 2014 to 2018.
