A retrospective single-center study using patient-related outcome measures and a sophisticated assessment of walking abilities was conducted.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Adults receiving surgical treatment of an isolated TPF between January 2012 and December 2016 received the KOOS questionnaire together with the invitation for an extensive follow-up examination on the clinical outcome including standardized assessment of the walking abilities (loadsol<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> system). Outcome was assessed relative to the severity of the injury or time to follow-up. Fractures were classified according to AO\/OTA and Luo, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>58 out of 132 eligible patients filled in the questionnaire and participated at a median follow-up of 3.05\u00a0years after injury. For the categories \u201cpain\u201d, \u201cmobility\u201d, and \u201cdaily life activities\u201d, all patients were rather satisfied and this was virtually not related to the time between fracture and assessment. Relevant limitations were reported for \u201csports and recreational activities\u201d and \u201cquality of life\u201d. Loading of the previously fractured leg was most evidently changed on stairs and outdoor walking. Outcome was not related to either fracture type severity or time from injury.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Outcome after an isolated TPF is neither related to fracture type, severity of the fracture nor time from injury. Simple gait analysis techniques relying on different tasks appear to yield a more sophisticated image on functional deficits after TPF than classical exam of ground-level walking and correlate quite well with validated patient-related outcome measures as the KOOS.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-023-02401-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T20:01:56Z","timestamp":1700251316000},"page":"2373-2379","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Functional assessment and outcome following surgical treatment of displaced tibial plateau fractures: a retrospective analysis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Patrick","family":"Gahr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0536-8045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Mittlmeier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anja","family":"Grau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philipp K.
