Abstract
Tibial plateau fractures are a risk to the functional integrity of the knee. They are the result of axial compressive forces alone or combined with varus or valgus stress on the knee joint. The geometry and deviation of the fracture depend on several factors, including the magnitude and direction of the force applied, the degree of knee flexion during the accident and finally, the bone quality. A detailed history regarding demographic profile, modes of injury, associated injuries and comorbidities were recorded in preset proforma. A through general physical and systemic examination was carried out to look for underlying exclusion criteria. X‐ray knee in standard AP and Lateral view was taken. In this study, plate and screw group included 54.16% Schatzker Type I‐IV and 45.83% Schatzker Type V‐VI tibial plateau fractures whereas 45.83% Schatzker Type I‐IV and 54.16% of Schatzker Type V‐VI tibial plateau fractures in hybrid ilizarov group. P‐value was found to be 0.564 which is <0.05, hence Schatzker type is not statically significant between two groups.
