THE TREATMENT OUTCOME OF ILIZAROV FIXATOR FOR THE HIGH ENERGY TIBIAL PLATEAU SCHATZKER TYPE V AND VI FRACTURES

Objective: To evaluate the Illizarov external fixation efficacy in Schatzker V and VI tibial plateau fractures due to high energy trauma. Study Design: A descriptive case series. Place and Duration: In the Orthopaedic department of Central Park Teaching Hospital from Dec 2017 to April 2019. Methods: 90 subjects with Schatzker V and VI tibial plateau fractures with high energy codylar fractures were managed by external fixator IIlizarov and surveyed for 12 weeks.
