Background: Tibial plateau fractures affect a major joint that supports the body's weight. The difficulties arise due to the concurrent application of axial stress & varus/valgus pressures, which causes articular depression, malalignment, & an enhanced susceptibility to after-traumatic osteoarthritis. Aim of the Work: The objective of this research work is to assess the functional outcomes, radiographic outcomes, & clinical performance of a group of cases who sustained internal fixation & open reduction using rafting screws (3.5-6.5millimeters cortical screws) to support depressed tibial fractures for Schatzker types II & III without the use of bone graft. Patients and Methods: Participating in this prospective investigation are thirty cases who suffered A fracture of the lateral tibial plateau. Schatzker type II or III underwent internal fixation & open reduction at Al-Zahraa University Hospital & Al-Mataria Teaching Hospital using rafting cortical screws measuring 3.5-6.5millimeters & bone grafts, respectively.
