Abstract:
Tibial plateau fractures present in a wide spectrum of injury severity and pattern, each requiring a different approach and strategy to achieve good clinical outcomes. Achieving those outcomes starts with a thorough evaluation and preoperative planning period, which leads to choosing the most appropriate surgical approach and fixation strategy. Through a case-based approach, this article presents the necessary pearls, techniques, and strategies to maximize outcomes and minimize complications for some of the more commonly presenting plateau fracture patterns.
