title: [Fracture of the tibial plateau: results of surgical treatment].
abstract: The different types of tibial plateau fractures have similar problems. Today most of them are treated surgically to obtain the adequate reduction. Ninety-three fractures of the tibial plateau have been reviewed. The clinical and X-ray examinations were performed from 7 to 13 years after surgery. Poor results with ligamentous instability and posttraumatic arthritis seem to be related to insufficient reduction of the fracture, loose fragments in the joint, axial angulation and insufficient repair of ligaments and menisci.
