Abstract
Geriatric tibial plateau fractures, although mostly due to low-energy trauma, were often accompanied with severe comminution and compartment syndrome. Postoperative results of open reduction and internal fixation for this population were relatively good. Therefore, primary total knee arthroplasty should only be considered for well-selected patients.
