 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 26 Minimally invasive locking compression plate Arthroscopic treatment of fractures around the knee Study: Fan Zhongming, Cao, Wu-chan, Tang Bingwang [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the arthroscopic technique and minimally invasive locking compression plate method of treatment of fractures around the knee. Methods used since August 2006 under Arthroscopy fracture reduction and minimally invasive locking compression plate for treatment of fractures around the knee 18 patients. 11 males and 7 females, aged 32 to 83 years, mean 63.3 years old. The causes of injury: car accidents in 5 cases, 4 cases of high falls, self falls in 7 cases, the other 2 cases were closed fracture. which 16 cases of tibial plateau fractures, according to Schatzker classification, fracture in 7 cases, fracture in 4 cases, fracture in 5 cases, 2 cases of distal femoral fractures, femoral condyle fractures were .18 cases were were followed up for its short and long term complications were recorded statistics on the efficacy of knee function assessed by Lysholm score sheet obtained excellent, good, in the number of cases of poor and good rates. Results All the patients had no significant concurrent operation disease, evaluation by Lysholm knee function score sheet, excellent in 15 cases, good in 2 cases, 1 case, good rate of 94.4%. Conclusion For patients with fractures around the knee, arthroscopy is an effective adjuvant treatment, combined with minimally invasive technique with the locking compression plate fixation, treatment of patients with fractures around the knee can achieve satisfactory results.
