Tibial plateau fracture is a hot topic in orthopaedic traumatology in recent years
worldwide. Tibial plateau fracture patterns can be classified by its different characteristics,
including the anatomic involvement (medial/lateral condyle, column, quadrant, segment),
fracture type (split/depression), mechanism (varus/valgus, axial/rotational, flexion/extension,
hyper-flexion/hyper-extension,), soft tissue injury (meniscus, ligaments, neurovascular
structures), and fracture-subluxation/dislocation of the knee. Integrated classification
combines the above features to provide full description of fracture patterns and injury
degrees has been attempted, but found to be too complicated to use in clinical practice.
