Mid-term outcomes of acute and delayed total knee arthroplasty following tibial plateau fractures: A matched cohort study.

Introduction: Patients who sustain a tibial plateau fracture (TPF) have a higher risk of receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Rarely, TKA is used as acute treatment for TPFs. This study aimed to compare both acute and delayed TKA following TPF with matched patients undergoing elective TKA for osteoarthritis.

Lever sign test shows high diagnostic accuracy for anterior cruciate ligament injuries: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 3299 observations.

Purpose: Injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are common knee injuries among active and younger patients. The Lever Sign Test (LST) is a relatively newer test, of which the accuracy is disputed in the existing literature. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy with and without anesthesia of the Lever Sign test in the literature.

Total knee arthroplasty for acute tibial plateau fractures: a survey amongst 68 Dutch orthopaedic surgeons.

In older patients with highly comminuted intra- articular tibial plateau fractures (TPFs), primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may be a treatment option. Our aim was to report and rank decisional factors considered by Dutch orthopaedic trauma and knee surgeons that may lead to the decision for TKA as treatment for TPFs. A survey was distributed among 141 experts on traumatology and arthroplasty of the knee.
