Abstract :

Fractures of knee joint are serious injuries that frequently result in functional impairment. The surgeon must try to maintain joint congruity, preserve the normal mechanical axis, ensure joint stability and restore a full range of motion. The aim of surgical treatment of the proximal tibia fractures is to restore and preserve normal knee function. The goal of treatment of this fracture is to achieve a stable, painless joint which has normal range of motion and function. The study is a comparison of results of tibial buttress plate and locking plate of tibia fractures in adults.
