“Simple surgical reduction manoeuvre for hyperextension fractures of the tibial plateau”

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Isolated anteromedial tibial plateau fractures following hyperextension injuries are a rare injury pattern where reversal of tibial slope is seen. Techniques of reduction and restoration of sagittal plane alignment include usage of cobb elevators, laminar spreaders, plates and Kirschner wires under direct vision. These conventional reduction manoeuvres are time consuming and require extensive exposure. Herein we describe a novel indirect reduction manoeuvre for these unique fracture patterns, that is easy to replicate and requires minimal soft tissue dissection thereby facilitating early rehabilitation.
