![]() This makes about 1% of all fractures and 8% of the fractures in elderly. They result from indirect coronal or direct axial compressive forces. Tibial condylar fractures are one of the commonest intra- articular fractures. Key Words: Closed reduction and internal fixation, Open reduction and internal fixation, Schatzker classification. ![]() Conclusion: Functional outcome is better in operatively treated tibial condylar fractures in adults, because it gives excellent anatomical reduction and rigid fixation to restore articular congruity and early motion thereby preventing knee stiffness. The knee range of motion was excellent to very good, gait and weight bearing after complete union was satisfactory, knee stiffness in three patients, wound infection in one patient and non-union in none of the cases was noted. Results: The selected patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically, after the relevant lab investigations were taken for surgery. Material and Methods: 30 cases of tibial condylar fractures treated by various modalities were studied from Feb ‘14 to Dec’17 at our institution and followed for a minimum of 6 months. This study is to analyze the functional outcome of CRIF or ORIF with or without bone grafting in tibial condylar fractures in adults. Knee being one of the major weight bearing joints of the body, fractures around it will be of paramount importance.
