Abstract
The prognosis of tibial plateau fractures directly depends on four factors: degree of joint depression, extension and separation of the fracture line of the tibial condyles, degree of comminution and metaphyseal‐diaphyseal dissociation, and integrity of the soft tissue envelope. All patients attending to Emergency and Orthopaedics Outpatients Clinic of a tertiary care hospital with tibial plateau fractures were screened for eligibility by clinico‐radiological evaluation and informed consent was taken from eligible candidates and were randomized by Excel random number generation into two groups. Group A‐ Plate and screw and Group B‐ Hybrid ilizarov. In this study, functional outcome was assessed by WOMAC score questionnaire in the end of 6 months. P‐value was found to be 0.612 which is >0.05, so there was no significant difference between the functional outcome in two groups. Similarly, in sub‐category like pain, stiffness and physical function, there was no significant difference between two groups.
