Abstract
Intention. To conduct a comparative analysis of the dynamics of the consolidation of intraarticular fractures of the posterolateral parts of the lateral tibial condyle, the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical treatment of these patients after plate osteosynthesis with traditional anterolateral and posterolateral transfibular surgical approaches as well.Methodology. A comparative prospective study of the effectiveness of osteosynthesis in patients with fractures of the posterolateral part of lateral tibial condyle in two compatible clinical groups was performed in dynamics for periods of 7–10 days, 1, 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery. In the first group (25 patients), bone osteosynthesis was performed from traditional anterolateral approach (TALA), and in the second group (20 patients), from the posterolateral transfibular approach (PLTFA). The average duration of osteosynthesis operations was compared. The displacements of fragments of the articular surface of the lateral tibial condyle, the indices of the KSS and Lysholm scales, the results of measurements of the angle of flexion and valgus stress test of the knee joint were evaluated. Data processing was performed using the Data Analysis and Chart Master modules (Excel), the Basic Statistics / Tables module (Statistic for Windows) as well.Results and Discussion. In the PLTFA group, the average operation time was (81.0 ± 8.5) minutes (from 67 to 96 minutes), in the TALA group, the duration of operations was 35.8 % longer and averaged (110 ± 5.2) minutes (from 82 to 125 minutes) (p < 0.05). The values of the KSS and Lysholm scales in dynamics showed a steady and statistically significant (p < 0.01) increase with increasing time after surgery without significant differences between the groups. The angle of flexion of the knee joint increased more rapidly during the first three months, then the rate decreased from 6 to 9 months (p < 0.05) without significant differences between the groups. The frequency of displacements of fragments of the articular surface in the first group was statistically significantly (p < 0.05) higher than in the second group. Differences in the valgus-stress test indices in both groups reached a maximum after 9 months – 52 and 30 %, respectively.Conclusion. With PLTFA, surgery duration decreases, articular surface fragments are better reduced, and their subsequent displacement at the stages of treatment is less likely; therefore, this approach is preferable for osteosynthesis of fractures of the posterolateral parts of the lateral tibial condyle.
