Tibial plateau fractures are relatively uncommon, representing
approximately 1.2% of all fractures [10]. These fractures are seen predominantly in two groups: as higher energy injuries in younger people and as lower-energy fractures in elderly patients secondary to osteopenia [10]. In the former population, in particular, these injuries are
associated with an increased incidence of complications including nonunion, infection, loss of motion, and posttraumatic arthritis [26]. Classifying these injuries is important to guide treatment, categorize research into clinical interventions, describe prognosis, and facilitate
communication regarding all patients with these injuries.
