Tuberoplasty/tibioplasty literature review

	Details	Conclusion
Pizanis et al, 201224	Technique description + clinical and radiological results in five cases, Schatzker II/III	This new technique may be a useful tool to facilitate the reduction of select depressed tibial fractures in the future
Vendeuvre et al, 2013 8	Description of tibial tuberoplasty with an anterior entry point	This new minimally invasive tuberoplasty technique is a good alternative to the conventional technique using a bone tamp in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures
Panzica et al, 201425	Cadaveric and biomechanical study, 30 test series in synthetic bones	The depth was the decisive factor in the reduction of the fracture and not the diameter
Craiovan et al, 201426	Video article describing surgical technique	Results are promising, but long-term results are still lacking
Ziogas et al, 201527	Case Report, Schatzker III, minimal approach which included percutaneous reduction of the fracture under arthroscopy and fluoroscopy guidance + CPC	Arthroscopy-assisted balloon osteoplasty seems to be a safe and effective method for the treatment of depressed tibia plateau fractures
Mayr et al, 201528	Cadeveric study, 8 matched pairs of human tibia, Schatzker III, reduction performed using a balloon inflation system, followed by cement augmentation	Loss of reduction can be minimised by using locking plate fixation after balloon reduction and cement augmentation
Ollivier et al, 201629	Prospective study, 20 patients, Schatzker II/III, tuberoplasty (optimal entry point) + CPC	The use of balloon-guided inflation tibioplasty with injection of a resorbable bone substitute is safe, and results in a high rate of anatomic reduction and good clinical outcomes
Doria et al, 201730	Randomised controlled trial, 30 patients, Schatzker II/III, tibioplasty versus traditional reduction technique	Tibioplasty technique provides anatomical reduction of the fracture in a gentle and progressive manner and mechanical stability allowing early rehabilitation and more fast weight-bearing
Wang et al, 201831	Randomised controlled trial, 80 patients, Schatzker II / III and IV, arthroscopic-assisted balloon tibioplasty versus open reduction internal fixation	Study protocol, results expected in 2021
Vendeuvre et al, 201832	Cadaveric and biomechanical study, 12 human tibia, contribution of minimally invasive bone augmentation to primary stabilisation of the osteosynthesis of Schatzker type II tibial plateau fractures: balloon versus bone tamp	The minimally invasive balloon technique has fewer negative effects than the use of bone tamp on the osseous stock, thereby enabling better primary structural strength of the fracture
