Arthroscopic Treatment of Tibial Plateau Fractures
摘要
Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) have emerged as a cutting-edge approach for treating tibial plateau fractures, offering enhanced visualization and a minimally invasive technique. Tibial plateau fractures, commonly caused by high-energy trauma or sports-related injuries, present challenges in achieving accurate anatomical reduction and joint stability. ARIF combines the precision of arthroscopy with the stability of traditional orthopedic fixation, allowing for a direct assessment of the articular surface, meticulous fragment handling, and identification of associated intra-articular injuries such as meniscal tears or ligament damage. This method minimizes soft tissue disruption, lowers the risk of postoperative complications, and promotes faster rehabilitation compared to open surgery. However, it demands specialized equipment and considerable technical expertise. Research highlights ARIF’s comparable or superior effectiveness in restoring joint congruity and supporting functional recovery compared to conventional techniques, making it a valuable option for preserving joint integrity and enhancing patient outcomes.
