Understanding the role of total knee arthroplasty for primary treatment of tibial plateau fracture: a systematic review of the literature

It may be appropriate to treat certain geriatric patients with TKA to allow for early mobilization and reduce the need for reoperation. Other factors may need to be considered in deciding the optimal treatment.Level of evidenceLevel III.
