TREATMENT OF PORXIMAL TIBIAL FRACTURES WITH LESS INVASIVE SYSTEM PLATES.



Abstract

Proximal tibial fractures often are caused from trauma with high energy forces with associated soft tissue lesions. The authors report their experience with 45 cases of proximal tibial fractures treated with less invasive system plates (LISS) with good clinical and radiographic results after 5 years follow-up. There is evidence of good stabilisation of the fractures with this conservative soft tissue method combined with early rehabilitation.
