Abstract

Background: Most intra-articular fractures are "tibial plateau fractures". The large amount of bone fragment movement, depression, and complex fracture patterns make it hard to treat impaction of the cancellous "subchondral bone," which damages cartilage.

Objective: To find out the Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Schatzker type II Tibial Plateau Fracture by Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal Plate.

Methodology: This was a prospective observational study, carried out at NITOR, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2019 to June 2021. Purposive sampling technique was used.

Results: Motor vehicle accident accounted for 90.3%, Fall from height was accounted for 9.7%, 64.5% had right and 35.5% had left sided injury. The association between bone graft and outcome was not statistically significant (p value = 0.083 > 0.05).

Conclusion: It may be stated that treatment of a Schatzker type II tibial plateau fracture with a proximal tibial metaphyseal plate results in an excellent to good functional outcome with minimum problems; hence, this procedure is successful and safe.
