Efficacy of a Biphasic Ceramic Bone Substitute in Management of Complex Tibial Plateau Fractures — Clinical and Radiologic Medium-Term Results

Abstract:

The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy of a biphasic synthetic ceramic bone substitute (Eurocer) combined with plate fixation in treating collapse tibial plateau fractures. 32 patients were included in the study. The surgical protocol consisted of: elevation of the articular depression through a limited cortical window using a curved bone compactor and image intensification, filling the defect with Eurocer granules and fixation with plates. Clinical and radiologic follow-up after 36 to 48 months revealed uneventful primary bone healing, excellent osseous integration of Eurocer and a mean Neer score of 87, 5 points. We conclude that Eurocer400® combined with plate fixation in managing collapsed tibial plateau fracture is a promising alternative in this difficult lesion regarding a fast healing, a good quality osseointegration, preventing secondary collapse and improving medium term results.
