Epidemiology and outcomes of tibial plateau fractures involving the medial plateau

The outcomes of isolated medial tibial plateau fractures are comparable with those of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures, with similar complication rates. Although C-type fractures tended to be associated with higher-energy trauma and increased risks of deep infection and compartment syndrome, these differences were not statistically significant. While medial plateau fractures are often assumed to be less severe, they can be considered injuries of similar complexity to bicondylar patterns.
