Abstract

 High energy complex tibia plateau fracture due to intra-articular are usually associated with injury to ligaments, capsule and other soft tissues surrounding the joint. They present multifaceted problems of difficulty of achieving accurate joint reconstruction. It also contributes to other complications   i.e. infection, fixed flexion deformity, knee stiffness. These complications make treatment of tibia plateau fractures a difficult task   for an orthopaedic surgeon. This study was undertaken to evaluate and explore locking compression plate   fixation   in tibia plateau fractures, which is expected to provide a stable fixation with minimum exposure, early mobilization, less complications and a better quality of life.

Keyword: Tibialplateau; Intra-Articular Fracture; Locking Compression Plate.
