Schatzker classification for tibial plateau fracture: [14] Type I = Lateral Tibial plateau fracture without depression. This is a wedge-shaped pure cleavage fracture and involves a vertical split of the lateral tibial plateau. It is usually the result of a low energy injury in young individuals with normal mineralization.
The tibial plateau leveling osteotomy and tibial tuberosity advancement are two of the most common osteotomy procedures performed in the United States. Recovery is often 6–8 weeks and the osteotomy can be filled with autologous bone grafts, scaffolds (hydroxyapatite, TR Matrix, etc.) or ceramics.
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.

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.
For the leg, the cast extends from the thigh to just above the ankle, often used to manage patellar fractures, some types of tibial plateau injuries, or post-operative care following knee surgeries. The application involves precise alignment to maintain proper positioning of the affected area while ensuring adjacent joints remain mobile ...
