Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.To assess clinical outcomes based on Post-operative Pain, Walking Capacity, Range of Motion, Knee Extension, Stability of knee joint clinically, maintenance of reduction and alignment 2.To assess radiological outcomes based on articular depression, condylar widening, progression of osteoarthritis, varus/valgus angulation 3.To assess functional outcomes measured by the Knee Society Severity Score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Timepoint: 2 WEEKS 6 WEEKS 3 MONTHS 6 MONTHS | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.To make a template tibia based on CT scans of normal tibia in the Indian Population. 2.To make and analyse a ‘Heat Map’ of fracture lines seen in the Indian population presenting to a Level I Trauma Centre and identify common morphology of proximal tibial fractures.
