Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy of minimally invasive treatment of Schatzker type Ⅰ ~ Ⅲ tibial plateau fracture. Methods A total of 84 patients with tibial plateau fracture (Schatzker type Ⅰ ~ Ⅲ) admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to August 2018 were selected and divided into observation group (42 cases) and control group (42 cases). The control group was treated with open reduction and plate internal fixation, and the observation group was treated with minimally invasive percutaneous plate fixation. The operation, joint function recovery and complications of the two groups were compared. Results The incision length of the observation group was (10.73 ± 1.12) cm, which was significantly shorter than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The length of operation and hospital stay was shorter in the observation group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The healing time of fracture and the time to weight bearing were earlier in the observation group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The differences in the range of motion of knee joint, American knee society knee score, and fracture reduction score before and after the surgery of the observation group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Minimally invasive percutaneous plate fixation is of clinical value in the treatment of Schatzker type Ⅰ ~ Ⅲ tibial plateau fractures with better clinical efficacy and less surgery trauma and complications.
