Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Orthopedic surgeons have been treating tibial plateau fractures more often with the aim of fracture reduction and recovering knee joint function, while the patients’ quality of life is relatively less concerned. However, patients not only emphasize the knee function, also have a certain expectation of the overall quality of life. In the field of traumatic orthopedics, the quality of life is attracting the attention of scholars. More and more attention has been paid to the quality of life of patients with tibial plateau fractures.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the quality of life of patients with tibial plateau fractures and its evaluation scales, and to explore the current research status.
METHODS: The literature about the quality of life of tibial plateau fractures published in the PubMed and WanFang databases was retrieved, and the obtained literature was read and screened. The keywords were ”fracture of tibial plateau, fractures of tibial plateau, tibial plateau fracture,tibial plateau fractures, fracture tibial plateau, Shinbone platform bone fracture, tibial plateau, proximal tibial, tibial proximal fracture, proximal tibial fractures, proximal tibia fracture, tibia proximal fracture, quality of life, health related quality of life” in English and Chinese, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The most commonly used scale for quality of life assessment of patients with tibial plateau fractures is the SF-36 health survey. (2) Most studies focused on complex tibial plateau fractures. (3) The quality of life of patients with complex tibial plateau fractures may be lower than the normal population, but this is not very sure in all studies. (4) Different age groups of patients with tibial plateau fracture quality of life may have different quality of life. (5) There have been a lot of controversies in different studies, and clinical researches of high quality are still needed.
