Most of the posterolateral tibial plateau fractures are caused by low-energy injury. The posterior fracture fragment could not be exposed and reduced well through traditional approaches. aim this study was to review results surgical treatment kind using approach with patient in prone position.The is defined as main part articular depression or split limited within half lateral column. Direct reduction buttress plate fixation applied all patients.In our series, 15 132 (11.4%) patients were identified fractures. clinical outcomes available 14 phone interviews chart reviews. Mean follow-up 35.1 months (range: 24-48 months). All had anatomic good reductions (≤ 2 mm step/gap). Average range motion 0.7 degrees 123.2 (5-110 0-140 degrees). complications one superficial wound infection, two slight flexion contractures, five implants removal. average modified hospital for special surgery knee score 93.4 86-100).The provides excellent visualization, which can facilitate shows encouraging results.V, therapeutic study.
