No Difference Between Bracing and No Bracing After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation o Tibial Plateau Fractures

摘要

Introduction: The use of a postoperative brace may be beneficial after open reduction and internal fixation of tibial plateau fractures. However, bracing has potential drawbacks related to cost, fitting, wound complications, and compliance. We hypothesized that no difference will be found between patients with and without bracing after open reduction and internal fixation of tibial plateau fractures.
