Search for: [Abstract = "The goal of this thesis was an evaluation of the long term results after operative treatment of the proximal tibial fractures in particular the answers for the following statements\:1. What is the functional and radiological long term outcome after open reduction and internal fixation of the proximal tibial fractures depending on the fracture type\? 2. If there is an relation between functional and radiological results after this type of treatment\?3. What are the most common complications after surgical treatment of the proximal tibial fractures\?4. What is the influence of the implant on the functional and radiological results\?The materials and methods\:65 patients treated in the Department of Orthopedy and Traumatology of the 5. Military Hospital in Cracow were included. There were 42 \(64.7%\) males and 23 \(35,3%\) females operated between 2007 to 2010. Their age was between 45 to 68 years, mean 54 years. The inclusion criteria was the proximal tibial fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation with lag screws and buttress plates. The follow up was 12 to 17 months, mean 15 months. In 45 patients \(69,2%\) the implants were not removed after bone healing. In this group there were 33 males \(50,8%\) and 12 females \(18,4%\). In 20 \(30,8%\) patients the implants were removed after bone consolidation . There were 9 males \(19,9%\) and 11 females \(16,9%\) in this group. In assessment of the fracture type, the Schatzker classification was used. There were 9 patient with fracture type I, 14 with type II, 14 with type III, 10 patients with type IV, 6 with type V and 12 with type VI of"]
