Abstract: Being an intra-articular fracture of a major weight bearing joint-accurate anatomical alignment and reconstruction are essential. The treatment mandates on early mobilization to avoid stiffness and limitation of movements which are major handicaps in squatting and cross-legged sitting in our social life.
The authors who have written extensively about this subject are generally in agreement that the result of treatment are dependent on the intra articular comminution and the presence or absence of step deformity on the weight bearing surface. If the step deformity can be eliminated by accurate anatomical reduction and if the reduction can be maintained, a good result can be usually anticipated. We have reported our experience in this study.
