Condition Anatomy
The Tibial Plateau forms the top surface of the shin bone and supports body weight through the knee joint.
Understanding the Injury
Fractures occur due to high-impact trauma such as falls, vehicle accidents, or sports injuries.
Symptoms include: severe swelling, inability to bear weight, deformity, and joint instability.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Stable fractures may be treated with bracing and non-weight-bearing protocols.
Surgical Treatment Options
Special Considerations
Joint surface restoration is critical to prevent arthritis.
Recovery Expectations
Healing requires 12-24 Weeks; delayed treatment causes joint collapse and early osteoarthritis.
