Bicondylar tibial plateau fractures pose a significant challenge for treating surgeons. If the articular surface of the medial plateau has a second split component in the posterior coronal plane, it is difficult to get direct visualization and ensure plate fixation when the patient is in the supine position. Using a technique in which a single preparation and draping of both legs is needed, pat...

We describe two cases of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) affecting both femoral condyles in the same knee. The patients presented with recurrent episodes of pain and swelling, but these were initially thought to be 'growing pains'. Eventually, a delayed diagnosis of bicondylar OCD was established and both patients were referred for further management. After assessing the extent of the disease o...

Background: Proximal tibial fractures refer to that occur in the upper part of tibia, which is larger bone lower leg. The present study was conducted assess management proximal by locking compression plate. Materials & Methods: 70 both genders were treated with MIPO and ORIF. Parameters such as side, type fracture, reduction, principal, operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, healing time et...

We used calcium-phosphate cement combined with minimal internal fixation to treat 49 fractures of the lateral tibial plateau. There were 25 split depression fractures, 22 pure depression fractures and two bicondylar fractures. Anatomical reduction was obtained in 38 fractures, satisfactory reduction in nine and imperfect reduction in two. Of 44 patients reviewed at one year, 33 were rated as ha...
