Abstract
The treatment of high-energy intra-articular fractures of the tibial plafond involves many potential complications. A protocol has been developed. This protocol recognizes the importance of the surrounding soft tissues and is based on sound principles and thorough clinical experience. This article discusses this protocol and its use and explains why it is now more widely accepted.
