UNASSIGNED: The operative treatment of displaced bicondylar @entity174 is challenging. The displaced condyles must be reduced, @entity308 plateaus must be elevated and adequately supported and early rehabilitation must be encouraged in order to obtain good clinical results. This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of @entity1 with bicondylar @entity174 treated with dual locked plates using raft screws with MIPO technique and autologous bone grafting. We hypothesized that in this group of @entity1 dual locked plating reduces the complication rates by avoiding loss of reduction due to the accomplished rigid fixation. Twenty-two consecutive @entity1 with bicondylar @entity174 ( @entity2195 ) were included in this study. The mean follow up was 26 months. Bone healing was achieved in all @entity1 with 3 cases of superficial and 1 case of @entity281 . @entity393 , secondary loss of alignment, early post-traumatic @entity625 were not observed in this study. The Lysholm knee score showed an average of 80.5 points (range: 61.5-90) at the final follow up assessment. Optimal fixation of the @entity174 with dual locked plating which allows immediate motion and partial weight bearing may be an alternative concept to prevent secondary loss of reduction to obtain a good clinical outcome.
