functional impairment. In recent years, with improvements in surgical technique and implants, there has been an
unmistakable trend towards surgical management of these injuries. Tremendous advance in mechanization and fastness of
travel have been accompanied by steep increase in number and severity of fractures and those of tibial condyles are no
exception. Knee being one of the major weight bearing joints of the body, fractures around it will be of paramount
importance. Nevertheless, proximal tibial fractures remain challenging because of their number, variety and complexity.
Tibial condlye fractures cover a broad spectrum of injuries with differing degress of articular depression and displacement.
The spectrum of injuries to the tibial condyle is so great that no single method of treatment has proven uniformly,
successful. Satisfactory results can be obtained using both non-operative and surgical methods of treatment for lowenergy
tibial condyle fractures On the other hand, tibial condyle fracturesthat occur as a result of intermediate and high energy
trauma in physiologically young patients generally preclude non-operative treatment. Functional outcome is better in
operatively treated tibial condylar fractures in adults, because it gives excellent anatomical reduction and rigid fixation to
restore articular congruity and early motion thereby preventing knee stiffness. Here we have conducted a study to evaluate
functinal outcome of different modalities of treatment provided to tibial condylar fractures in terms of Articular Congruity,
Joint Stability.</Abstract><Email>nagireddyortho@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>6</volume><issue>12</issue><year>2015</year><keyword>Proximal tibia, Fractures, Management, Outcome tibia</keyword><AUTHORS>Mallela Nagi Reddy</AUTHORS><afflication>Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics, Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences,Pondicherry, (Affiliated to Bharath University, Chennai), India.</afflication></Article></Articles>
