Establishment of Classification of Tibial Plateau Fracture Associated with Proximal Fibular Fracture.
The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the incidence of fibular fractures as an associated injury in tibial plateau fractures according to CT scan. We also attempt to introduce a new morphological sub-classification on this associated injury and to analyze the correlation between this classification and tibial plateau fractures. ⋯ A new classification of this associated injury describing the morphology of the fracture fragments may improve operative planning.
