Introduction
Tibial plateau fractures are periarticular injuries of the proximal tibia often associated with soft tissue injury. They account for 1-2% of all fractures. Their impact on the articular surfaces and the development of osteoarthritis make them an interesting research topic in the orthopaedic field. With the development of arthroscopic treatment methods, many are thinking of ways to incorporate less invasive methods in the reduction and fixation of these injuries.
Review methods
English-language scientific literature found in PubMed and Google Scholar was used for the review. Articles were searched based on keywords. Each article was analyzed for knowledge currency and relevance for use in the review.
Description of the State of Knowledge
After searching the articles, 35 articles were selected for final analysis. The collected data provided the latest information on treatment of tibial plateau fractures (TPF) using arthroscopic tools with studies diving deep into both the technique and longer-term results.
Summary
The use of arthroscopy in treatment of tibial plateau fractures grows year by year with more and more clinicians being interested in limiting the soft tissue damage and other adverse effects of ORIF
Keywords: Schatzker, arthroscopy, tibial plateau fracture
