plates may be present. The presence of double buttress plates should alert the reviewer that bicondylar fractures are present and that botharticular surfacesshould be evaluated for congruency. Although uncommon, placement of screws through the articular surface or tibial tubercle would constitute mal...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the mechanical stability of a medial tibial plateau fracture model secured with a lateral locking periarticular plate versus a medial buttress plate in cyclic testing and load to failure. METHODS: Medial tibial plateau fractures were created in 6 matched pairs of fresh cadaveric...
Purpose: A substantial proportion of conventional tibial plateau plates have a poor fit, which may result in suboptimal fracture reduction due to applied -uncontrolled- compression on the bone. This study aimed to assess whether patient-specific osteosyntheses could facilitate proper fracture reduction ...
In pediatric patients with a knee injury and suspected Salter fracture, stress views should be obtained to rule out a growth plate injury. There are more growth plate injuries than MCL injuries in pediatric patients. This is due to the fact that growth plates are weaker than ligaments. In thi...
The objective of this study was to analyze the morphology of the medial tibial plateau and lateral tibial plateau in Chinese knees and compared these measurements and features with those of commercial unicondylar tibial baseplates.Three-dimensional knee models were reconstructed from computed tomography ...
Additional factors compromising fixation include osteoporosis [5], compromised mechanical stiffness when using annealed “reconstruction” plates [6] and fracture comminution. One of the more popular substitutes for a medial femoral condyle plate is to use the anterolateral proximal tibial plate of the ...
Of the 3 patients who developed poor knee function after the operation, the patient with periprosthetic femur fracture had a stiff knee before the operation and the other two developed femoral quadriceps tendon rupture during the injury, but none developed tibial plateau fractures. Knee functions of...
Prospective analysis of functional outcome of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated by fixation with locking compression plates Introduction: High energy tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker type V, VI) are associated with severe soft tissue injury and this complicates the treatment of this injuries...

attachment of the tibia, about 5 cm distal to the knee joint, lying beneath the Pes Anserinus. The deep MCL is the secondary restraint to valgus stress. The Deep MCL inserts directly into the edge of the tibial plateau and meniscus, and may be separated from the superficial layer by a ...
