Description
The presentation by Tim White focuses on tibial plateau fractures, particularly their classification, surgical approaches, and outcomes. White plans to address five key areas including the significance of tibial plateau fractures as a surgical challenge, the intricacies of classification systems such as the Schatzker and AO classifications, and innovations in surgical techniques like the posteromedial approach. He emphasizes the B3.3 type fracture, noting the common pitfalls in managing these injuries, particularly in elderly patients. White discusses the complexities associated with these fractures, which often present multiplanar challenges, requiring personalized treatment strategies. He introduces effective surgical techniques tailored for varying patient demographics, particularly the utility of percutaneous surgery for less invasive treatment of simple lateral depression fractures. The presentation also highlights patient case studies to illustrate the application of these principles in real-world scenarios, ultimately concluding with findings on surgical outcomes and the importance of surgeon experience in achieving optimal results.
