Tibial plateau fractures are rare ... Most patients need surgery, in the form of adding screws or plates around the broken bone, to repair the bone and promote the healing of the affected tissue.

The aim of this study was investigate the effect of plate design on construct behavior, thus modeling of the screw threads was omitted to simulate a rigid-bond at the tibia-screw interface.

Background This study described a novel, minimally invasive reconstruction technique of lateral tibial plateau fractures using a three-screw jail technique and compared it to a conventional two ...

The other option involves fitting plates and screws along the back of the tibia. While doctors often recommend surgery after a trimalleolar fracture, surgical intervention might not be appropriate ...
