  Author(s): Vishal Patil*, Chiranjivi Jani and Clevio Desouza
  
  Introduction: Proximal tibia fractures account for around 1% of fractures in adults. Proximal tibial fractures are intricate wounds created by high-or low-velocity injury, the ideal treatment of high energy tibial plateau fracture remains contentious. Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (O.R.I.F.) with a rigid implant achieves the goal of anatomic, articular congruency, and mechanical alignment restoration while allowing early remobilization. Materials and methods: Ours was a prospective-retrospective study conducted with a sample size of 28 patients who were diagnosed with proximal tibia (Schatzker’s type 5 and 6) fracture between June 2018 and June 2020Clinical outcomes were recorded using The American Knee Society (KS)Score for post- operative knee range of motion, The Knee Society Function (KSF).
