![]() | Media file 3: Tibial plateau fractures. Cross-table lateral radiograph of the knee shows the lipohemarthrosis within the suprapatellar bursa. The fracture itself is not seen well. |
![]() | Media file 4: Tibial plateau fractures. CT image through the tibial plateau shows a fracture of the posterior aspect of the lateral tibial plateau, which is the source of the lipohemarthrosis. |
![]() | Media file 5: Tibial plateau fractures. Axial CT image through the knee shows a layering lipohemarthrosis. |
![]() | Media file 7: Tibial plateau fractures. Radiograph of the knee shows lateral plateau splitting, a Schatzker I injury. There is no articular depression. |
![]() | Media file 9: Tibial plateau fractures. A different patient illustrates a Schatzker II injury with subtle lateral articular depression. |
![]() | Media file 15: Tibial plateau fractures. Radiograph of the knee shows a different Schatzker VI fracture. |
![]() | Media file 16: Tibial plateau fractures. Axial CT image demonstrates the extensive fractures of both the lateral and medial aspects of the tibial plateau, a Schatzker VI injury. |
