Results of open reduction and internal fixation after surgery for tibial plafond fractures comparison with circular external fixation: A Comprehensive Systematic Review

Abstract

Background: This study aims to provide result of open reduction and internal fixation after surgery for tibial plafond fractures comparison with circular external fixation. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this systematic review focused exclusively on full-text articles published in English between 2014 and 2024. Result: The study conducted a comprehensive review of over 100 publications sourced from reputable databases, including ScienceDirect, SagePub, and PubMed. Following an initial screening, five publications were identified as warranting more in-depth analysis. Consequently, a thorough review of these selected studies was performed to ensure a detailed and rigorous evaluation. Conclusion: With similar rates of post-operative complications and functional results, CEF and ORIF are both suitable surgical therapy choices for TPF. The lack of high-quality evidence about the best fixation technique for TPF is highlighted by this study.
