Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how tibial plateau fracture patterns relate to the impact direction, energy, and bone quality, while also exploring associated injuries in the femoral condyle that occur from the same impact.
- A review of CT scans from 149 patients who had surgery for tibial plateau fractures revealed that 26% of them had concomitant articular femoral condyle injuries, with impaction fractures, contusions, and condyle fractures being the most common types.
- The findings suggest that even though most femoral injuries were minor and not treated surgically, they could indicate potential future joint problems and instability in the knee.
Background: Salvage surgery for a nonunion around the ankle is challenging. Poor bone stock, stiffness, scarring, previous (or persistent) infection, and a compromised soft tissue envelope are common in these patients. We describe 15 cases that underwent blade plate fixation as salvage for a nonunion around the ankle, including patient/nonunion characteristics, Nonunion Scoring System (NUSS), surgical technique, healing rate, complications, and long-term follow-up with 2 patient-reported outcome measures.
