Abstract

Tibial plateau fractures encompass a broad array of injuries. The mechanism of injury ranges from low to high energy. Devastating complications and associated injuries can occur in both low-energy and high-energy mechanisms; therefore, a careful and detailed physical examination and review of imaging must be performed. Furthermore, a mechanistic approach to fracture classification and morphology enhances the surgeon's understanding of the injury and the ability to predict associated injuries and develop effective strategies for management.
