Tibial plateau fractures treated with the less invasive stabilisation system

Thirty-six tibial plateau fractures in 35 patients were treated with the less invasive stabilisation system (LISS). Patients’ mean age was 42 years. There were 27 type C fractures and nine type B fractures according to AO/OTA classification. The average time to healing was 4.2 months (3–7 months). Deep infection developed in two cases. One patient healed in 6° of varus, and seven patients had an increased articular angulation of 6° (4–8°) in the sagittal plane. There were no cases of loss of reduction, non-union, or deep vein thrombosis. The LISS system could be considered for the management of tibial plateau fractures
