Abstract: BACKGROUND: Tibial plateau fracture is a common fracture encountered in the clinic. OBJECTIVE: This study determined the optimal timing and surgical approach for patients with tibial plateau fracture. METHODS: Fifty-two patients with complex tibial plateau fractures were treated in our hospital (the People’s Hospital of Zhongjiang County) between 2013 and 2015. These patients were recruited as participants in this study; all patients were randomly allocated into two groups of 26 patients each. Patients in Group 1 underwent single-incision, single-plate knee surgeries via an antero-lateral approach, and patients in Group 2 underwent anterior median … Show more
