Abstract
We surgically treated 14 tibial condyle fractures between 1991 and 1995. Patients included 9 males and 5 females between 35 and 83 years old, with a mean age of 63.8 years. The follow-up period was between 4 and 52 months with a mean of 21.6 months. According to Hohl's classification, there were 3, 1, 1 and 9 cases belonging to type B, C, D and F, respectively including 3 open fractures. According to the evaluation of Hohl & Luck, the outcome was excellent in 6 cases, good in 6 cases, fair in one case and poor in one case. Outcome was fair and poor in the type F cases. These cases had a large depression before the operation, which remained postoperatively. We stress the importance of anatomical reduction of the joint surface.
