Overview

Tibial plateau fracture must be differentiated from other causes of acute knee pain, restriction of movements, and deformity such as patella fracture, patella dislocation, knee dislocation, ligamentous injury such as anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, collateral ligaments and meniscal injury

Differentiating Tibial Plateau Fracture from other Diseases

Tibial plateau fracture must be differentiated from other causes of acute knee pain, restriction of movements, and deformity such as patella fracture, patella dislocation, knee dislocation, ligamentous injury such as anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, collateral ligaments and meniscal injury.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

	Symptoms			Physical examination			Imaging
Diseases	Clinical manifestations						Para-clinical findings			Gold standard	Additional findings
	Symptoms			Physical examination			Para-clinical findings
	Pain	Restriction of Movements	Deformity	Tenderness	Integrity of extensor mechanism	Distal Pulses	X-ray	CT scan	MRI
Tibial plateau fracture	+	+	+/-	+	+	+/-	Fracture fragment displacement Fracture fragment angulation	Accurate diagnosis of fracture pattern ans aids in classification. Useful for preoperative surgical planning for patients with complex, multifragmentary fractures.	Useful in diagnosing occult fractures, ligamentous and soft tissue injuries	CT
