✦ Synopsis


Five cases of fracture of the lateral tibial condyle of the split-depression type were treated by elevation of the depressed fragment, bone grafting and cancellous bone screws. During the operation, tantalum markers were inserted into the depressed fragment and the tibial metaphysis for radiographic stereophotogrammetric analysis. Postoperatively a plaster cast was applied for one month and weightbearing was not allowed for 3 months. In three cases, a depression of the elevated fragment, at the most 2.8 mm, recurred during the first month after operation. This was not considered to be significant and more aggressive postoperative mobilisation may be warranted.

R~sum~. Cinq cas de fracture par enfoncement du plateau tibial externe ont dtd traitds par reldvement du fragment impact~, greffe osseuse et vis ~t spongieux. Au cours de l'intervention des marqueurs au tantale ont 6td placds dans le fragment enfoncd et dans la mdtaphyse tibiale pour analyse

stdreophotogramdtrique. En post-opdratoire un pldtre a gtd maintenu pendant un mois et l'appui n 'a dtd autorisd qu '~ latin du troisiOme mois. Une r6cidive de l'enfoncement du fragment relevd (2.8 mm au maximum) est survenue dans trois cas, durant le premier mois post-op~ratoire. Les auteurs concluent que la raise en ddcharge post-opdratoire n'est pas indispensable et qu'une mobilistion prdcoce plus active pourrait dtre envisagge.
