Physical examination
13. Fracture tibial plateau
Schatzker Type I
Management
consult vascular for R/O vascular injury
Admit
On post long leg slab
observe compartment syndrome
16. Mechanism
•varus/valgus load with or without
axial load
•high energy
• frequently associated with
soft tissue injuries
•low energy
• usually insufficiency
fractures
17. Associated conditions
meniscal tears
– lateral meniscal tear more
common than medial
– associated with Schatzker II
fracture pattern
– associated with >10mm articular
depression
– medial meniscal tear
most commonly associated with
Schatzker IV fractures
18. Associated conditions
– ACL injuries
more common in type V and VI
fractures (25%)
– compartment syndrome
vascular injury
commonly associated with Schatzker
IV fracture-dislocations
27. Treatment
Nonoperative
o hinged knee brace or Post long leg slab,
PWB for 8-12 weeks, and immediate passive ROM
indications
minimally displaced split or depressed
fractures
low energy fracture stable to varus/valgus
alignment
non ambulatory patients
