Knee

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

  • Open Reduction and Internal Fixation
  • Arthroscopic-Assisted Fracture Stabilization

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. 

When to See an Orthopedic Surgeon

All suspected plateau fractures require urgent orthopedic evaluations
