[Combined Posteromedial and Anterolateral Approach in the "floating position" - Two Column Fracture of the Tibia Head].

Conclusion We have demonstrated that the surgical treatment of two column fractures of posterior and lateral tibial plateau fractures is technically possible via a combined posterior reversed L-shaped and anterolateral approach in a floating position without the necessity of intraoperatively repositioning of the patient. Although the number of patients was limited, the clinical and radiographic outcome was rather good. PMID: 29232748 [PubMed - in process]
