Abstract

Abstract : Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Abstract : Summary: Tibial plateau posterolateral fragments, especially those associated with articular depression, are difficult to capture and support with anteriorly or lateral based implants. Applying implants to the posterior plateau has traditionally involved a prone approach or fibular osteotomy, especially when access to both the medial and lateral sides is necessary, such as a bicondylar posterior coronal shear fracture pattern. By combining two previously described techniques for posterolateral rim plating and bicondylar hoop plating, we describe a novel technique to apply a posterior bicondylar hoop implant in the supine position without fibular osteotomy for bicondylar posterior coronal shear injuries.
