Abstract

Purpose The fractures of the tibial plafond, although not a very common trauma pathology, are difficult to treat and, if not managed appropriately, can lead to serious complications and long-term sequelae. The majority of tibial plafond fractures are a result of high-energy trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from height, thus being frequently associated with life-threatening injuries. The patient with tibial plafond fracture must be thoroughly assessed, generally and locally, and the treatment must be individualized accordingly.
