Tibial plateau fractures may directly extend to the articular surfaces of the weight-bearing joint. Insufficiency fracture of the tibial plateau is a rare diagnosis. Delayed diagnosis can cause persistent knee pain and can lead to deformity of the joint. A high index of suspicion and appropriate imaging greatly assist in an early diagnosis and in minimizing major morbidity. .. View More»
