Abstract
Results of the study were recorded, presented in tables and statistically analyzed. Descriptive statistics were done for all data and represented as numbers and percent. Comparison between X ray and MDCT findings was done using McNemar’s test where P value < 0,05 was considered significant and that> 0.05 was considered insignificant.
In this study, according to X ray study, lateral split fracture was the most common fracture detected. It was seen in 45% of cases. It was more common than medial split fracture that was seen in 15% of cases or Bicondylar split fractures that were seen in 15% of cases. Articular surface depression & metaphyseal extension was detected in 20% of cases. X ray was normal and negative for fracture in 10% of cases. Joint effusion was detected in only 5% of cases.
When MDCT findings were analyzed, the lateral split fracture was the most common detectable fracture seen in 70 % of cases representing the most common osseous finding. It was followed by articular surface depression and tibial eminence fractures that were seen in 55% of cases for each. Bicondylar split fractures and metaphyseal extension was seen in 25% of cases for each. Medial split fracture was detected in 10% of cases. Segond fracture was the least frequent fracture and seen in only one case. MDCT showed joint effusion in 35% of cases, Soft tissue affection and lipohemarthrosis were detected in 30% of cases.
In this study we think that classification of the cases according to regional division of the tibial plateau may be of surgical help.
