[Tibial condylar fractures--conservative or surgical management? A retrospective study]. 1989

P Wendsche, and S Kalandra, and V Pokorný, and J Michek

In the period from January 1983 to June 1986 were treated 141 patients with tibial condylar fractures in our institute. We wanted to compare the results of conservative versus surgical treatment. The results of 40 patients were analyzed, both clinically and X-rayed, and then compared according to Courvoisier scheme. The obtained results were better with conservative treatment in cases of fractures of both condyles. The reasons were discussed. The infection rate was 12.9%. It is stressed the importance of modern methods as early functional treatment and minimal osteosyntheses combined with arthroscopy controls.

D008297	Male		Males
D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
