“Modified oblique Lobenhoffer approach” to expose the posteromedial and posterolateral columns of the tibial plateau
The knee joint is rich in blood vessels and nerves and has a complex bone structure. Exposure and fixation of #tibial plateau #fractures involving the posterior column are still difficult. For tibial plateau posteromedial column fractures, the prone Lobenhoffer approach or the “inverted L-shaped approach” of Professor Luo Congfeng of the Sixth Hospital can be […]
