| Harna et al[109] | Bicondylar | Two 7 mm partially threaded cannulated screw for condyle | AP | Not reported | Case report |
| Joseph et al[110] | Bicondylar | Four synthes 6.5 mm partially threaded cancellous screws (one in lateral condyle and 3 in medial condyle) | PA | Not report | Case report |
| Kini et al[111] | Bicondylar | One lag screws for medial and 2 lag screws for lateral | AP | Not report | Case report |
| Dua et al[112] | Bicondylar | Three 6.5 mm, partially threaded cancellous screws (lateral) and 2 6.5-mm, partially threaded cancellous screws (medial) |
AP | Swashbuckler | Case report |
| Lal et al[113] | Bicondylar | 4.5 mm cannulated cancellous screws | AP | Lateral (not specified) | Case report |
| Papadopoulos et al[30] | Bicondylar | Three 6.5 mm cancellous screw | AP and AP | Lateral (not specified) | Case report |
AP = anteroposterior, LCP = locking compression plate, PA = posteroanterior, PL = posterolateral, PM = posteromedial.
