Recently, a novel extended approach for comminuted lateral tibial plateau fractures was introduced. It includes a lateral epicondyle osteotomy and meniscus subluxation allowing for an almost complete overview of the lateral tibial plateau. First clinical results are presented.Hypotheses:   We hypothesized, that a superior visualization using the novel approach in demanding cases leads to improved radiologic and clinical outcomes.Methods:   A consecutive case series of ten in which the approach was used was followed prospectively. The cases were classified using the “10-segment classification” and the “AO classification”. To evaluate the clinical and radiological results, the Rasmussen score was applied.Results:   Excellent to good clinical and radiological results were encountered after a median follow-up of 8,6 (IQR 4,3) months. The clinical score amounted to a median of 25 (IQR 2,8) and the radiological score a median of 17 (IQR 2,0).Conclusion:   The early results after the treatment of demanding cased with a high degree of joint comminution presented are promising with excellent to good results, only. At the same time, despite an extended surgical procedure, no complications were encountered in the cohort. As suggested by the authors before, tibial plateau fractures should be managed using a stepwise approach with extension of the approach as individually required.
