OBJECTIVE: We conducted a retrospective study of patients who had undergone open reduction and dual plating for schatzker type V and type VI tibial plateau fracture. METHODS: 78 tibial plateau fractures treated between Jan. 2008 and Dec. 2012. 40 patients (20 with Schatzker V and 20 with Schatzker VI) were included. 33 were males, 7 were women. All fractures due to road traffic accidents. RESULTS: All 40 fractures united between 8 and 22 weeks (average: 14 weeks). All patients are normal ambulators without any shortening, limp or pain in the knee.
