Effect of patient factors and procedure on proximal tibia fracture recovery - A retrospective analysis
Tibia Plateau fracture patients respond almost equally to both external fixation and Open Reduction Internal Fixation procedures. Age does not influence the outcome. However, males had better functional outcomes at three months post-surgery indicating that gender could affect the outcomes. Further exploration might assist in planning gender-based proximal tibia fracture treatment strategies for optimum outcomes.
