Fracture morphological characteristics and associated soft-tissue injuries in flexion varus tibial plateau fractures

FVTPF showed various morphologies of the main medial fragment, with the depression area located in the posterolateral plateau. The ACL avulsion fractures were predominant in FVTPF, followed by LM injuries. FVTPF cases with comminuted medial fragments were associated with a significantly higher rate of LM injuries. Among the bony fracture parameters, maximal depression depth showed a considerable value in predicting LM entrapment.
