Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameters are the outcomes of the Dutch Version of the
International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee questionnaire. Using
conventional x-ray we will be able to see and document the consolidation
progress and post-traumatic arthrosis throughout the period of follow up. To
evaluate varus or valgus deformity, a leg-axis conventional x-ray will be made.
Secondary outcome

Background summary
Tibia plateau fractures usually arise from high impact traumas such as
motorcycle accidents or a fall from large height. The most common used
classification used in tibia plateau fractures is that of Joseph Schatzker.
Ranging from 1-6, it differentiates between split fractures, depression
fractures, shaft fractures, the localization (medial/lateral) or a combination
of the above. The optimal form of treatment is still a subject of debate and
there are several prognostic factors named to predict long term functional and
radiological results: fracture type, degree of post traumatic arthrosis, degree
of remaining incongruence and the recovery of the leg axis. In order to create
sustainable long term functionality of the knee joint after a tibia plateau
fracture, one could argue that stable fixation and anatomical reposition are of
the utmost importance. In the recent past the long term outcome of all tibia
plateau fractures treated operatively in the AMC were reported (ref. M.
Rademakers et al.)
Although a large segment of the patients treated for a tibia plateau fracture
have a relatively uneventful recovery, a small percentage has to cope with
complications resulting from the often challenging surgery. There are a number
of articles written on several complications that may arise after surgical
management, but the clinical results of revisional surgery that takes place in
specialized centres remains underexposed.
Study objective
The primary objective of the study is to determine the patient satisfaction and
assess objectively the clinical outcome. The secondary objective is to
determine whether the revision surgery after mal/non-union of the tibial
plateau fracture was successful and fully consolidation was achieved.
Study design
This study is designed as a retrospective study with postoperative follow- up.
Study burden and risks
All patients will receive three conventional X-rays of the knee, which is an
exposure to radiation. This study does not provide immediate advantage for the
participating patient.
