The study evaluated the outcomes of fixing split-depression tibial plateau fractures using a locking plate and periarticular raft construct without bone grafting in 38 patients.
After a mean follow-up of about 23 months, all patients achieved bone union within an average of 13 weeks, with a satisfactory range of motion and radiological outcomes.
The results suggest that this method is an effective option for treating these types of fractures, with most patients returning to their pre-injury activity levels.
