| Summary: | Aims and Objectives:
The use of polyaxial locking plates is an established technique for the treatment of proximal tibia fractures. At the moment different polyaxial locking implants from numerous manufactures are available, though at the moment there are no clinical trials regarding their differences. In this prospective clinical trail we compared the NCB-PT® (Zimmer) and the VA-LCP® (Synthes) by analysing primary and secondary quality criteria of the osteosynthesis (clinical and radiological).
Materials and Methods:
This study enrolled 28 patients suffering from a proximal tibia fracture (AO/ASIF 41 B-C). The follow-up examinations were conducted over 12 months after the surgery. Clinical (e.g. range of motion, Rasmussen score, Tegner score) as well as radiological parameters (e.g. primary and secondary loss of reduction, fracture healing) were collected. For the analysis of continuous parametric variables the Student’s t-test was used and for non-parametric variables the Mann-Whitney U test. For binominal variables the Fisher’s exact test was preformed. In all analysis the significance level was set at a p-value |
