Clinical and radiographic predictors of acute compartment syndrome in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures: a retrospective cohort study

Table 4 Relation between variables identified by the multivariate analysis (presence of a non-contiguous tibia fracture or knee dislocation, and higher AO/OTA fracture classification) and acute compartment syndrome

	Total number of patients^a N	Patients with ACS^b N (%)
AO/OTA 41-B, no associated non-contiguous tibia fracture or knee dislocation	174	4 (2.3)
AO/OTA 41-C, no associated non-contiguous tibia fracture or knee dislocation	89	20 (22.5)
AO/OTA 41-B and associated non-contiguous tibia fracture or knee dislocation	4	2 (50.0)
AO/OTA 41-C and associated non-contiguous tibia fracture or knee dislocation	2	2 (100.0)

^a Number of patients, with or without ACS, presenting the variables as described in the first column
^b Number of patients with ACS presenting the variables as described in the first column; the percentage is calculated relative to the total number of patients presenting the same variables
