The arthroscopic managements of tibial plateau fractures have the advantages of allowing accurate reduction and treatment of concomitant injuries. We performed the arthroscopic managements on 13 cases of a total of 24 tibial plateau fractures. 4 cases were implanted hydroxyapatite as a bone graft substitute. One case of them was examined pathologically 8 months after grafting.
Roentgenographic and clinical assessment at follow-up periods averaging 18 months demonstrated no loss of reduction.
Interporous hydroxyapatitie is a safe, effective alternative to autogenous cancellous bone for the filling of metaphyseal defects associated with tibial plateau fractures.
