JBI Database System Rev Implement Rep. 2017 Oct;15(10):2437-2444. doi: 10.11124/JBISRIR-2016-002949.

Abstract

Based on the observation that rehabilitation practices for tibial plateau fractures are inconsistent and lack uniformity in the published literature, this scoping review will seek to identify all relevant studies that have reported on rehabilitation for tibial plateau fractures in order to comprehensively map the characteristics of the practices. This scoping review will then be used to identify commonalities across the included studies in order to identify potential focus questions for subsequent systematic reviews.
