Resurfacing of depression fractures of the lateral tibial condyle. A report of five cases.

Five patients with fractures of the lateral tibial condyle were treated operatively by resurfacing of the lateral tibial plateau by means of a Marmor polyethylene tibial prosthesis. The indications were persistent pain and valgus deformity. In four patients, in whom the cartilage of the lateral femoral condyle was normal at the time of operation, the results were excellent. One patient with osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration of the femoral condyle was not improved by the operation.
