Tibial plateau fracture, what level of disability is identified?

The calf bone in the human body is composed of two types of bones, one is the tibia and the other is the fibula. The tibial plateau is the articular surface in the upper end of the tibia that participates in the formation of the knee joint, and the reason why it is called a platform is because it forms a plane on the tibia, which is related to the knee joint, so the tibial plateau fracture is a complex intra-articular fracture. The fracture of the tibial plateau requires a violent external force, such as a violent fall, a car accident injury and a fall from a height, which will exert a violent force at the tibial plateau to cause the fracture.

After a fracture, you will feel severe pain in the knee joint and the knee joint will be highly swollen, and the knee joint will lose mobility because the fracture occurs on the articular surface of the tibia.

At the same time, tibial plateau fracture is an injury to the tibial articular surface, which will involve the internal structure of the joint, so it is often accompanied by damage to the articular cartilage, knee ligament or meniscus. Surgery is generally recommended**, and late complications can be avoided by reducing and placing internal fixation.

So what level of disability is a tibial plateau fracture?

This requires us to first understand the latest classification criteria for the degree of disability, which is based on the criteria for the identification of the disability status of the injured person in a road traffic accident, which divides the degree of disability of the injured person into 10 levels for the daily life, action, and social communication ability of the injured person.

The highest level of disability is the complete inability to take care of oneself in daily life, loss of consciousness, restriction of all activities and bed rest, and complete loss of social interaction. The next lower levels need to be classified in descending order, such as being unable to take care of themselves in daily life, to needing help or supervision at all times, and then to occasionally needing help and limited mobility.

According to this, the most serious result of the patient's tibial plateau fracture in the right leg is the dysfunction of the right leg, which is judged to be mostly limited in daily activities and partially limited in social communication skills, which is about to meet the criteria for grade disability.

If the surgical ** is used, that is, the use of surgical open reduction plus internal fixation, the disability level is about 9, and if the conservative and non-surgical ** is used, the postoperative rating is 10.

Tibial plateau fracture is identified as a simple tibial plateau fracture displacement is not obvious, and the disability level is generally 10. If it is a comminuted fracture that affects the lower limbs greatly, the disability level is 8 or 9.

In general, tibial fractures can be assessed as grade 9 to 10 disability. The specific situation is then judged according to the degree of recovery after surgery.

Theoretically, it constitutes a level 10 disability, but it is necessary to make an assessment according to the patient's ** condition, and some people may not constitute a level of disability.

Lower limb fractures can only be assessed as disability if they injure the joints and affect the joint function, and disability can not be assessed if they do not affect the joint activities.

What is the level of disability for a comminuted fracture of the tibial plateau?

I also have comminuted fracture grade 6.

Intertrochanteric comminuted fracture disability is assessed as several grades.

Legal Analysis:

If the tibial plateau fracture is a work-related injury, it can generally be rated as a grade 9 to 10 disability. Those with partial organ defects, abnormal morphology, mild functional impairment, no medical dependence or general medical dependence, and no self-care impairment are grade 9 disabilities; Partial organ defect, morphological abnormality, no dysfunction or mild dysfunction. Those who have no medical dependence or general medical dependence, and no impairment in self-care are classified as grade 10 disabilities.

If it is not a work-related injury, it shall be determined according to the appraisal standards of the "Appraisal Standards for the Degree of Human Injury".

Legal basis: Labor ability appraisal of employees' disability levels caused by work-related injuries and occupational diseases

Nine-level grading principle.

Partial organ defect, abnormal morphology, mild functional impairment, no medical dependence or general medical dependence, no self-care disorder.

Nine-level clause series.

Anyone who meets or one of the following conditions is a work-related injury grade 9, 12) vertebral compression fracture, and the height of the anterior edge of the vertebral body is reduced by less than 1 2;

13) After intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus resection;

14) 1 2-segment spinal fixation;

24) After internal fixation of patella, calcaneus, talus, mandible or pelvic fractures;

Ten-level grading principle.

Partial organ defect, morphological abnormality, no dysfunction or mild dysfunction. No medical dependence or general medical dependence, no impairment in self-care.

10-level clause series.

Anyone who meets one of the following conditions is a work-related injury grade 10.

12) No dysfunction or mild dysfunction after the healing of fractures in various parts of the body;

13) Mild dysfunction left after tendon ligament laceration of large joints of the limbs;

Full text of the criteria for the identification of the degree of human injury.

The criteria for disability assessment are mainly based on the severity of the fracture and the functional recovery after the fracture has healed, and whether it has a significant impact on life. In general, tibial plateau fractures can be rated as grade nine. If the functional impact is relatively large, it can be rated as level eight, but it is difficult to be rated as level seven.

The main complication of tibial plateau fractures is uneven articular surfaces, which leads to a greater likelihood of osteoarthritis in the future. In addition, because the damage is in the joint, the function of knee flexion and extension may be affected to a certain extent. Therefore, in the process of assessing the disabled, these are all factors that need to be taken into account.

However, because the impact of fractures on the human body is relatively small, it is difficult to be rated as grade 7.

Legal basis: Article 22 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance stipulates that the appraisal of labor ability refers to the grading appraisal of the degree of labor dysfunction and the degree of self-care disorder.

There are 10 levels of disability for labor dysfunction, with the most severe being level 1 and the least being level 10.

There are three levels of self-care disorders: complete inability to take care of oneself, inability to take care of oneself most of one's life, and partial inability to take care of oneself in life.

The standards for the appraisal of labor ability shall be formulated by the social insurance administrative department in conjunction with the health administrative department and other departments.

Tibial plateau fracture, what level of disability is identified?

Tibial plateau fracture, can be rated to several levels of disability is related to the method of ** and whether the postoperative dysfunction can be left, if the use of surgery, that is, the use of surgical open reduction plus internal fixation, the disability level is about 9, if conservative, non-surgical **, the postoperative rating Li Yuan is 10, and there is another method is after the tibial plateau fracture surgery, there is no obvious functional impairment left, if there is no obvious functional impairment left, the disability assessment is 10 gradesIf there is a significant deficit in the function, the degree of impairment needs to be identified and then a specific rating can be made.
