A Prospective Study

INTRODUCTION: In the modern world,due to advent of high speed motor vehicles , high energy trauma commonly involves the knee joint and results in complex tibial plateau fractures and associated ligament and meniscal injuries . Proper diagnosis and management of these injuries reduced the chances of degenerative changes around knee joint later on. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics in a tertiary health care center of western rajasthan from January 2018 to December 2020 . A total of eighty patients( 62 males: 18 females) with tibial plateau fractures and associated soft tissue injuries were included .Patients were assessed both clinically and radiologically and “ SCHATZKER'S classication was used to classify the tibial plateau fractures. Pre-operatively in every case CT-scan was used to study fracture pattern and MRI was done to see fracture morphology and associated soft tissue injuries. RESULT: A total 80 patient was included in our study,out of which 73 (91.25%) having ligaments( Cruciate and Collaterals) and meniscal injury . Injury to the lateral meniscus was found most frequently in Schatzker II fracture (p<0.0006) and medial meniscus in schatzker IV (p< 0.011). Variable association was shown by ACL and PCL injuries with tibial plateu fracture morphology ,but as the grade of designation increases within schatzker classication as does the frequency of cruciate ligament tear. Overall incidence of LCL rupture occurred least frequently in Schatzker II fractures (7 of 34; 20.5%), which was statistically signicant (P < 0.01). Complete MCL tear occurred in 27( 33.7%) of all fractures and in 41% of Schatzker II fractures. PLC tear had shown signicant association with medial tibial plateu fracture (schatzker IV). CONCLUSION: The likelihood of the cruciate , collateral ligament and PLC injury increases as the grade of designation within schatzker classication (schatzker I-VI). PLC injury had a signicant association with medial tibial plateu fracture (schatzker IV) and MCL had a signicant association with lateral tibial plateau fracture .
