Posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures in patients undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction—An MRI analysis of 556 cases
30.8% of the patients showed posterolateral tibial plateau impression fractures, here LM tears were more frequent with the highest incidence in IIIB fractures. MM tears are more frequent in patients without posterolateral impaction fractures, while LM posterior root tears are more frequent than MM posterior root tears among the whole study population. The clinical relevance of this study lies in the exact analysis of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures in patients with ACL lesions, with the resulting therapeutic consequences dependent on the fracture type and concomitant injuries. <b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level III.
