Arthroscopic-Assisted Reduction of Depressed Lateral Tibial Plateau Fracture Using Precision Drill Guide and Fresh-Frozen Femoral Head Allograft

Abstract

In the patient with osteoporosis, tibial plateau fractures can occur after high-energy trauma or low-energy trauma. Arthrosis will rapidly progress if the depressed articular surface is left untreated. Therefore, the depressed articular surface should be treated by anatomical reduction. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic-assisted reduction depressed lateral tibial plateau fracture using a precision drill guide and fresh-frozen femoral head allograft.
