Functional assessment and outcome following surgical treatment of displaced tibial plateau fractures: a retrospective analysis

ConclusionOutcome after an isolated TPF is neither related to fracture type, severity of the fracture nor time from injury. Simple gait analysis techniques relying on different tasks appear to yield a more sophisticated image on functional deficits after TPF than classical exam of ground-level walking and correlate quite well with validated patient-related outcome measures as the KOOS.
