Abstract

• Twenty-nine cases of the proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures(extra-articular) treated at the Department of Orthopaedics, Wonju Christian Hospital from January 1982 to December 1989 were studied in clinical and radiological aspects.
  The results were as follows:
  1. The main cause of the fractures was the traffic accident, 19 cases (65.6%).
  2. The most common type of the fractures was transverse fracture, 18 cases (62%).
  3. The average time required for fracture union was 18 weeks in the conservative treatment group, 16 weeks in the surgical treatment group.
  4. In the union time of the fracture, operative treatment was shorter than closed treatment.
  5. The incidence of complication was relatively high in conservative treated group, 7 cases (21%).
