This is a pure compression fracture of the lateral or central tibial plateau in which the articular surface of the tibial plateau is depressed and driven into the lateral tibial metaphysis by axial forces.3 A low energy injury, these fractures are more frequent in the 4th and 5th decades of life and individuals with osteoporotic changes in bone.
Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), [1] soleus syndrome, [2] tibial stress syndrome, [2] periostitis [2] Red area represents the tibia. Pain is generally in the inner and lower 2/3rds of tibia. Specialty: Sports medicine: Symptoms: Pain along the inside edge of the shinbone [1] Complications: Stress fracture [2] Risk factors: Runners, dancers ...
A physical examination is the first step, with the joints of the patient moved and bent to study possible loss of functioning. Synovial fluid analysis is another method to diagnose Hemarthrosis. It involves a small needle being inserted into the joint to draw the fluid. [ 6 ]

Tibia fracture. Pilon fracture; Tibial plateau fracture; Bumper fracture – a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau caused by a forced valgus applied to the knee; Segond fracture – an avulsion fracture of the lateral tibial condyle; Gosselin fracture – a fractures of the tibial plafond into anterior and posterior fragments [16]
Open fractures take longer to heal, and infection will delay union. For tibial fractures union is generally achieved after between 3 and 6 months, [3] though time to union can be rather subjective, [4] and the dynamistion process combined with irregular appointments may interfere with these measures.
A tib-fib fracture is a fracture of both the tibia and fibula of the same leg in the same incident. In 78% of cases, a fracture of the fibula is associated with a tibial fracture. [6] Since the fibula is smaller and weaker than the tibia, a force strong enough to fracture the tibia often fractures the fibula as well. Types include:
Originally described by Dr. Paul Segond in 1879 [6] [7] after a series of cadaveric experiments, the Segond fracture occurs in association with tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) (75–100%) and injury to the medial meniscus (66–75%), lateral capsular ligament (now known as the Anterolateral ligament, or ALL), as well as injury to the structures behind the knee.
