2017年3月31日 · The fracture is horizontal, and the bone can become unstable if the fibula is also broken. displaced fracture: The tibia is moved out of place when it breaks.

Type I, or minimally displaced fracture is a wedge fracture of the lateral plateau. This most often occurs in young patients with strong bone that resists depression. Type II, or split compression (or depression) fracture, is seen when the lateral plateau fracture becomes depressed. This is often as a result of valgus stress and axial compression.

2023年6月26日 · Displaced fracture. With a displaced fracture, a crack in the bone moves part of the bone so that it is no longer aligned. Surgery is often needed to correct this type of fracture and...

2024年10月30日 · Tibial Plateau fractures are periarticular injuries of the proximal tibia frequently associated with soft tissue injury. Diagnosis is made with knee radiographs but frequently require CT scan for surgical planning. Treatment is often ORIF in the acute setting versus delayed fixation after soft tissue swelling subsides.

The length of time it takes to recover from a tibial plateau fracture depends on the severity of the fracture and your overall health. Most fractures take 4 months to completely heal. In more severe cases, it can take up to 6 months.

Tibia plateau fractures: When you break your tibia close to your knee and it damages your knee joint. Displaced tibia and fibula fractures: A displaced fracture means the pieces of your bone moved so much that a gap formed around the fracture when your bone broke.

In skeletally mature patients with displaced tibial shaft fracture, the most common treatment is intramedullary nail fixation [2,3], as operative treatment allows earlier definitive stabilization, avoids prolonged cast/brace treatment, and may allow for more rapid mobilization as well as faster time to union .

Displaced tibial plateau fracture. A displaced fracture is one where the bone breaks into two or more fragments. In this case, surgery is normally needed to re-fix the fragments in place to encourage correct healing of the bone tissue.

Tibial plateau fractures occur from stress (stress fractures resulting from unusual excessive activity), from bone that was already compromised (such as in cancer or infection), or, as is most commonly the case, as a result of trauma (injury).
