Thank you for your letter, I entirely appreciate that this is considered controversial
by most orthopaedic surgeons accordingly I am delighted by interest and letter. I
hope I can explain the points.

- Single versus dual incision approaches for dual plating of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures have comparable rates of deep infection and revision surgeryInjuryVol. 53Issue 10
- PreviewBicondylar tibial plateau fractures (AO/OTA 41-C) are high-energy injuries that are challenging to manage due to the combined complex bony and soft tissue injury [1,2]. As a result surgical treatment has been associated with high rates of infection and overall complications [3–5]. While unilateral locking implants may be able to control some fracture patterns [6] mechanical support of unstable bicondylar tibial plateau (BTP) fractures often requires dual plating to maintain axial alignment and prevent fixation failure [2].

- PreviewWe read the article “Single versus dual incision approaches for dual plating of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures have comparable rates of deep infection and revision surgery” by Guild et al., with great interest [1]. The article has meticulously explained how a single incision dual plating can be performed, in a bicondylar tibia plateau fracture, and has a lower infection rate than hitherto reported. However, as readers, we feel the undermentioned points need to be explained in detail for better understanding.
