The most commonly used treatment methods are discussed in depth, emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of each and their indications in the various types of tibial condylar fractures. It is concluded that the treatment must be carefully fitted to the type of fracture and to the patient in order to achieve a strong movable knee with good alignment and stability.
