Outcome of using hybrid ilizarov external fixator in the treatment of schatzker type v and VI tibial plateau fractures

Aim: to determine the outcome of using hybrid ilizarov external fixator in the treatment of schatzker type v and vi tibial plateau fractures study design: descriptive case series duration of study: from: 19-10-2015 to 18-04-2016 results: in our study,common age was calculated as 31.25±7.29 years,63(70%) were male and 27(30%) were females,mean knee society score was calculated as 79.77±9.93,frequency of union was recorded in 84(93.33%),18(20%) with excellent outcome,49(54.44%) had good functional outcome and 23(25.56%) had fair functional outcome,7(7.78%). conclusion: the outcome of using hybrid ilizarov external fixator in the treatment of schatzker type v and vi tibial plateau fractures is good and encouraging for the management of this complex fracture.
