Resumen
1. Fractures of the tibial plateau are common, representing 1% of all human fractures. Conservative and surgical treatments have been described for their management. 2. Comminuted or displaced fractures of the plateau can be challenging for orthopaedic surgeons, requiring often the use of bone grafts. 3. Autologous iliac bone graft (AIBG) is the clinical gold standard for bone transplantation. Still, this procedure exposes patients to some relevant risks. 4. Autologous iliac bone graft is the clinical gold standard for bone transplantation. Still, this procedure exposes patients to some relevant risks. 3. In order to overcome risks and limitation of AIBG, biomaterials are valuable bone substitutes when bone transplantation is required. 5. We treated our patients with a composite xenohybrid bovine bone-derived matrix, enriched in poly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) and RGD-containing collagen fragments (obtained from gelatin).
