Abstract
This study reports the preliminary results of surgical treatment of bone bruise of the tibial plateau. Twelve patients underwent percutaneous screw fixation with a mean follow-up of 15 months. The mean duration of surgery was 15 minutes. Preoperatively, 1 week postoperatively, 1 month postoperatively, 6 months postoperatively, and 12 months postoperatively, the mean visual analog scale scores were 7.3, 2.6, 1.2, 0.6, and 0.5, respectively. The mean Hospital for Special Surgery scores were 56, 78, 89, 95, and 98, respectively. In selective patients with bone bruise, the percutaneous screw fixation is feasible to resolve pain and prevent compression of the articular surface.
