Overview

The incidence of tibial plateau fracture is approximately 13.3 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Tibial plateau fracture showed bimodal distribution among women and a unimodal distribution among men. Men had an increasing incidence of fractures until 50 to 60 years of age, followed by a decline in incidence. Women showed a peak incidence between 20 and 30 years of age. The median age at diagnosis is 57.7 years for women and 46.8 years for men. There is no racial predilection to tibial plateau fracture. Men are more commonly affected by tibial plateau fracture than women. Surgical management for tibial plateau fracture is done 92% of the cases.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of tibial plateau fracture is approximately 13.3 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]

Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop tibial plateau fracture.[2][3]
  • Tibial plateau fracture showed bimodal distribution among women and a unimodal distribution among men.
  • Men had an increasing incidence of fractures until 50 to 60 years of age, followed by a decline in incidence.
  • Women showed a peak incidence between 20 and 30 years of age.
  • After the age of 40 years, they had an increase in incidence throughout life compared with men.
  • Tibial plateau fractures are most common between the ages of 30 and 60 years.
  • The median age at diagnosis is 57.7 years for women and 46.8 years for men.
