Zusammenfassung

Die Fraktur der proximalen Tibia mit und ohne Gelenkbeteiligung ist eine schwere und komplikationsträchtige Verletzung. Sie stellt Patienten und Behandler aufgrund der operativen Anforderungen und individuellen Behandlung vor eine herausfordernde Aufgabe. Im folgenden Artikel werden Risiken und Komplikationen dargestellt sowie mögliche Behandlungspfade aufgezeigt.

Abstract

Fractures of the proximale tibia intra- and extraarticular are severe and complications are not infrequent. Due to highly demanding surgical skills and its individual treatment it represents a challenging task for patient and surgeon. In the following article we focus on complicatations and pitfalls and demonstrate problemsolving strategies.
