| Core Tip |
Managing proximal tibial fractures, particularly tibial plateau fractures, in elderly patients with osteoporotic bone and pre-existing knee osteoarthritis is challenging. This systematic review evaluated the role of acute total knee arthroplasty as a primary treatment option. Fourteen studies involving 174 patients were analyzed. Most were elderly females with total knee arthroplasty and pre-injury osteoarthritis. Posterior-stabilized implants were commonly used, often with tibial stems and metal augments. Outcomes were favorable, with a mean flexion of 110 degrees and generally good Knee Society Scores. Complications occurred in 16.7%, and revisions in 2.3%. Despite promising results, evidence quality was low, warranting larger comparative studies. |
