Biomechanical evaluation of asymmetric metaphyseal cone applications for lateral tibial plateau fractures
Asymmetric metaphyseal cones provide effective stabilization for lateral uncontained defects, managing micromotions and bone strains within clinically safe limits. The recommended maximum defect size for cone treatment is an unsupported area ratio <i>R<sub>u</sub></i> = 44%. These findings suggest that asymmetric metaphyseal cones present a promising option for addressing severe lateral TPFs during acute TKA.
