Proximal tibia fractures emanating from the inferior screw may be effectively treated with hardware removal, IMN and bone grafting of the fracture site. References: Bellemans J, et al. Am J Sports ...

Regarding intra-articular proximal tibial fractures, 55% to 70% of them occur on the lateral plateau and 10% to 30% are bicondylar with open fractures comprising 1% to 3% of these fractures.

The tibia or shinbone is the most common long bone in the body for someone to fracture. The severity of symptoms depends on how it breaks, which is usually from a traumatic injury or overuse injury.

The proximal tibia also contains two condyles, rounded protuberances that help the tibia fit into the bottom of the femur. The lateral condyle is above the head of the fibula—with the medial ...

Tibial plateau is a critical load-bearing area on the upper surface of the tibia. Tibial plateau/bumper fracture occurs at the top of the shin bone and involves the cartilage area of the knee joint.

The benefit of an additional screw implanted in the proximal tibia from the anterior at an angle of 90° below the conventional two-screw reconstruction after lateral tibial plateau fracture was ...

Proximal aspect. The proximal part of your tibia is the upper end that connects with your femur . It has a rounded head with a medial condyle and lateral condyle (or, middle and outer knob).

In layman’s terms, Stotts describes a tibial plateau fracture as the result of “bones kind of knock[ing] together,” which occurred in this case from Bueckers hyperextending her knee.

TIBIAL PLATEAU SURGERY . If there is not too much soft tissue swelling, these fractures can be surgically repaired right after the injury. In surgery, an incision is made over the fracture site and ...
