标题:Effects of Surgical Treatment Guided by the Three-Column Classification Method on Knee Joint Function and Postoperative Complications in Patients with Tibial Plateau Fractures
摘要:Many patients with tibial plateau fractures present with various degrees of soft tissue contusion and severely damaged articular surface, ligament, and vascular nerves, and thus how to treat this kind of patient has become one of the great difficulties in clinical practice. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effects of surgical treatment guided by the three-column classification method on knee joint function and postoperative complications in patients with tibial plateau fractures. A total of 120 patients with three-column tibial plateau fractures admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were selected and divided into group A (n = 60) and group B (n = 60). Among them, the group A patients were treated with an anterior lateral approach in floating positions combined with reduction plate internal fixation with an L-shaped approach in the posteromedial joint, while the patients in group B received reduction plate internal fixation with a knee midline incision in supine positions. After that, the perioperative indexes, knee function scores, the MOS item short-from health survey (SF-36) scores, complication rate (CR), and overall treatment efficacy of the patients were compared between the two groups. The perioperative indexes in group A were significantly better than those in group B (P < 0.001); the knee function scores and SF-36 scores in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (P < 0.001); the CR in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.001); the treatment efficacy in group A was significantly better than that in group B (P < 0.05). The three-column classification method, with highly instructive significance in tibial plateau fracture surgery, can improve treatment efficacy and reduce the incidence of complications, which is worthy of application and promotion in clinical practice.
