Comparative effectiveness of arthroscopic-assisted versus open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures: a retrospective study

In this retrospective cohort, ARIF was associated with improved perioperative efficiency, faster recovery, better short-term functional outcomes, and fewer selected complications compared with ORIF. Prospective, multicenter randomized studies with longer follow-up are warranted to confirm these findings and to further clarify the long-term functional outcomes and complication profiles of ARIF compared with ORIF.
