Traditional treatment of tibial plateau fractures is with open reduction and internal fixation, or external fixation in severely displaced and comminuted fractures. Total joint arthroplasty for unreconstructable hip fractures is a successful and widely accepted treatment; however, such surgery for tibial plateau fractures is not a common practice. We present two cases of highly comminuted schaztker VI tibial plateau fractures in patients over the age of 65. Both patients had a metaphyseal sleeve revision knee arthroplasty as delayed primary treatment. Both patients have had excellent clinical and radiographical results at 6 months and 5 years follow-up, respectively. We present the first description in the literature of this implants use for bone loss as a result of trauma. There is growing evidence that total joint arthroplasty is an effective treatment in tibial plateau fractures, in particular for elderly patients who may be at high risk of failure from internal fixation.
胫骨平台骨折的传统治疗方法是切开复位内固定,对于严重移位和粉碎性骨折则采用外固定。对于无法重建的髋部骨折,全关节置换术是一种成功且被广泛接受的治疗方法;然而,这种手术用于胫骨平台骨折并不常见。我们报告两例65岁以上患者的高度粉碎性Schaztker VI型胫骨平台骨折。两名患者均接受了经干骺端套筒翻修膝关节置换术作为延迟一期治疗。两名患者在分别随访6个月和5年时均取得了优异的临床和影像学结果。我们首次在文献中描述了这种植入物用于创伤导致的骨丢失。越来越多的证据表明,全关节置换术是治疗胫骨平台骨折的有效方法,特别是对于可能因内固定失败风险较高的老年患者。
