description | Approaches for treating posterolateral tibial plateau fractures vary among surgeons, and the inverted L-shaped approach is a known option. This article aims to introduce a new modified posterolateral inverted L-shaped approach for isolated posterolateral tibial plateau fractures and study its feasibility. Medical records of patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures were reviewed. Plain radiographs were obtained during the follow-up period, and the hospital for special surgery (HSS) score was used to assess the function of the injured limb. Perioperative complications were recorded and followed-up. In total, 32 patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures were treated using a modified posterolateral approach. The mean age of the patients was 44 ± 11 years (28–64 years). All patients successfully underwent surgery and were followed-up for a mean duration of 13 ± 2 months (10–16 months). On plain radiographs, fracture lines were fuzzy 3 months after surgery and disappeared 12 months after surgery. No perioperative complications occurred during the follow-up period. The HSS score was evaluated 12 months after surgery, and the mean score was 91 ± 5 points (81–97 points), including 25 excellent cases and 7 good cases. The modified posterolateral inverted L-shaped approach has the advantages of small soft tissue dissection, fracture reduction under direct vision, easy internal fixation, and a lower risk of neurovascular injury. This approach is feasible for the treatment of isolated posterolateral tibial plateau fractures, and further high-quality randomized control trials are required to confirm its clinical efficacy. |
