Do mini-fragment T-plates allow for more proximal rafting than pre-contoured anatomic plates in lateral split-depression tibial plateau fractures?
Mini-fragment plates allow for a significantly shorter SJD compared to AL plates, allowing surgeons to provide more proximal rafting of LSD fractures while maintaining low rates of postoperative complications. No increase in fracture subsidence was observed when using mini-fragment fixation alone compared to AL plates.
