This document discusses tibial plateau fractures, including their causes, classification systems, treatment goals and options, prognosis factors, surgical techniques, postoperative care, and potential complications. Tibial plateau fractures are caused by a varus or valgus force combined with axial loading and can be classified using the Schatzker or Hohl and Moore systems. Treatment goals are to restore articular congruity, axial alignment, joint stability, and functional motion. Operative treatment is generally indicated for open fractures, fractures with vascular injuries, displaced bicondylar fractures, and lateral fractures causing instability. Prognosis depends on factors like the degree of articular depression, fracture line separation, comminution, and soft tissue integrity. Potential complications
