Abstract:

BACKGROUND: 64-slice CT reconstruction technique for tibial plateau fractures has obtained satisfactory results. This technology can reconstruct three-dimensional fracture relations, provide more scientific positioning and navigation standards for physicians, and improve the clinical cure rate. However, in the clinic, navigation method of 64-slice CT reconstruction techniques for tibial plateau fractures lacks a unified standard.

OBJECTIVE: To study the navigation method and effect of 64-slice CT reconstruction in tibial plateau fractures.
METHODS: A total of 44 patients with tibial plateau fractures were enrolled in this study, including 27 males and 17 females, at the age between 21 and 74 years old. These patients were randomly divided into two groups (n=22). The control group underwent navigation method according to physician’s experience. The test group underwent navigation method according to 64-slice spiral CT scan results. Healing time, full weight-bearing time, knee motion range at 1 year postoperatively, the recovery of knee function at 1 year postoperatively and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) No significant differences in full weight-bearing time and knee motion range at 1 year postoperatively were detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). Healing time was significantly shorter in the test group than in the control group (P < 0.05). (2) The excellent and good rate of knee joint was 100% at 1 year postoperatively in the test group, which was significantly higher than the control group (81%) (P < 0.05). (3) The complication rate was significantly lower in the test group (8%) than in the control group (18%) (P < 0.05). (4) These results indicate that the effect of 64-slice CT reconstruction for navigation in tibial plateau fractures was ideal, could clearly simulate the pedicle screw fixation channel, visibly display anatomic characteristics of tibial plateau fractures, improve internal fixation accuracy, and improve repair effect.
