Fractures were classified according to Schatzker's staging system. After a minimal of 2 years' follow-up (range, 24\u201342 months), each affected knee was evaluated using Rasmussen's (1) 30-point clinical grading system and (2) radiological evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 22 type-VI and 16 type-V Schatzker tibial plateau fractures. Complications consisted of: 2 superficial infections, 3 pin site infections, and 4 peroneal nerve palsies. No soft tissue necrosis or devitalisation occurred. The mean range of knee movement was 132\u00b0. The mean Rasmussen radiological score was 14 (range, 10\u201318): excellent in 6, good in 26, and fair in 6. The mean Rasmusssen functional score was 26 (range, 17\u201330): excellent in 19 patients, good in 17, and fair in 2.
