Comparison of Dual Plating versus Single Lateral Plating in Bicondylar Proximal Tibial Fractures

Key Points

• This study aims to compare the outcomes of dual plating versus single lateral plating in patients with bicondylar proximal tibial fractures.
• Participants were randomly assigned to receive either dual plating or single lateral plating for tibial fractures.
• Outcomes were measured postoperatively to assess fracture healing and complication rates.
• Dual plating demonstrated a higher rate of fracture healing compared to single lateral plating.
• Complication rates were significantly lower in the dual plating group.
