Abstract
The proximal tibia fractures are one of the commonest fractures in Orthopaedic practice representing 1.2% of all fractures. These injuries are divided into two categories, high velocity injury fractures and low velocity injury fractures. Most of tibia plateau fractures are secondary to high velocity accidents and fall from height , Where proximal tibia fracture resulted from direct axial compression usually with a varus or valgus force and indirect shearing forces across the knee. To study the functional outcomes of proximal tibial fracture treated with lateral locking compression plate (LCP). This observational study is hospital based and is to be conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics at Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, PaschimVihar and New Delhi. Patients will be selected who underwent surgery of proximal tibial fracture treated with lateral LCP. Clearance from ethical committee of institute is to be obtained. Written informed consent will be obtained from all the patients or legal representatives for participation in the study. In Excellent, 18 (43.9%) had left lateralty and 23 (56.1%) right. One (25.0%) Fair patient had left lateralty and three (75.0%) had right. In Good, 4 (33.3%) had left lateralty and 8 (66.7%) right. Poor patients had 1 (50.0%) left and 1 (50.0%) right lateralty. Laterality had no significant effect on 24‐week clinical findings (p = 0.8195).Two (50.0%) Fair patients were infected and one (25.0%) was stiff. One patient (8.3%) had mild stiffness and one had stiffness in Good. Poor patients had 1 implant failure and 1 infection. The correlation between complications and clinical outcomes at 24 weeks was strong (p<0.0001). The observation of a male predominance, with a ratio of 4.36:1, was a notable demographic finding. The study found important correlations between different types of Schatzker fractures and their respective outcomes, highlighting the practical importance of fracture categorization. The timing of surgery and the type of implant used did not have a significant effect on the outcomes.
