The aim of this study is to describe the morphology of the posteromedial fragment in the setting of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures and to use it as a base for selection of the method of fixation. Twenty two -patients with bicondylar tibial plateau fractures -involving the posteromedial fragment were included in this study. Plain X- ray and computed tomogram (CT) were performed in all patie...

We evaluated our initial results in 57 patients who received the NexGen® CR-Flex Mobile knee system using the standard anterior approach in a prospective study. The bicondylar surface implant was cemented in position (Palacos®) without posterior patellar resurfacing. The clinical outcome and perioperative and post-operative complications were documented over 24 months of its use. Overall, after...

The authors present a report of a bicondylar tibial plateau fracture in an adolescent athlete after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. The procedure was performed via arthroscopic transtibial PCL reconstruction with quadrupled semi-tendinosus and gracilis autograft. The patient recovered uneventfully postoperatively and was able to participate in high-level sports activity, such ...

Dual plating of complex, bicondylar tibial plateau fractures through an anterolateral and posteromedial approach is often performed to treat fractures complicated by a significantly displaced posteromedial fragment or a depression of the medial articular surface. The purpose of the present study was to (1) determine the deep infection rate of such fractures that are operatively fixed after allo...

conclusions in our study, we treated this rare fracture successfully using a modified swashbuckler approach and found it to be a good approach for such fractures as compared to the conventional approach. case presentation a 32-year-old male sustained a bicondylar hoffa fracture of the right femur which was treated by open reduction and internal fixation using a modified swashbuckler approach. a...

A rare case of unilateral bicondylar fractures of the femoral condyles is presented. Internal fixation of the fragments was achieved by three cancellous lag screws, followed by a short period of cast immobilization and intensive physiotherapy. Full weight bearing was allowed 3 months postoperatively. Full range of motion of the knee and no presence of articular defects on femoral condyles were ...
