The selection of a surgical approach for the treatment of tibia plateau fractures is an important decision. [] Key Method The approach involves a lateral arthrotomy for visualizing the joint surface and a posterolateral approach for the fracture reduction and plate fixation, which are both achieved through one posterolateral skin incision. Using this approach, we achieved reduction of the articular surface and stable fixation in six of seven patients at the final follow-up visit. No complications and no loss…

Anterolateral tibial plateau osteotomy as a new approach for the treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture
TLDR
A posteromedial approach combined with an anterolateral approach and an osteotomy involving the proximal tibiofibular joint of the tibial plateau was used to expose, reduce, and fix the fracture.

TLDR
The results suggest that the fibular neck osteotomy approach is a good choice for treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.
Combined lateral femoral epicondylar osteotomy and a submeniscal approach for the treatment of a tibial plateau fracture involving the posterolateral quadrant.
Results of a modified posterolateral approach for the isolated posterolateral tibial plateau fracture
TLDR
The modified posterolateral approach through a long skin incision without exposing the CPN could help to expand the surgical options for an optimal treatment of this kind of fracture, and plating of postersolateral tibial plateau fractures would result in restoration and maintenance of alignment.
Extended Anterolateral Approach for Complex Lateral Tibial Plateau Fractures
TLDR
A method to support the posterior tibial plateau rim, in cases of bicondylar tibIAL plateau fractures, combining the extended anterolateral with the posteromedial approach is described, ensuring optimal conditions for an anatomical reduction of the articular surface.
Arthroscopic Controlled Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Fixation of Posterolateral Tibia Plateau Impression Fractures

A Novel Method of the Treatment for Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Fractures.
TLDR
Fixation of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture was easily and successfully achieved using a new curved support plate (CSP), which may provide a new choice for posterol lateral tibian plateau fractures.
A combined approach for the treatment of lateral and posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.
Treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures through fibular osteotomy approach.
TLDR
The fibular osteotomy approach with a proximal tibia locking compression plate can produce a satisfactory clinical outcome for patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.

Treatment of posterior tibial plateau fractures via posteromedial and posterolateral exposures
TLDR
New specific approaches for posterior fracture types avoiding large skin incisions, but allowing for atraumatic exposure, reduction and fixation are presented.
Treatment of isolated posterior coronal fracture of the lateral tibial plateau through posterolateral approach for direct exposure and buttress plate fixation
TLDR
Direct posterolateral approach by dividing lateral border of soleus muscle, provides excellent fracture reduction under visualization and internal buttress plate fixation for posterior coronal fracture of the lateral tibial plateau.
The posterolateral shearing tibial plateau fracture: treatment and results via a modified posterolateral approach.
[Management of bicondylar fractures of the tibial plateau with unilateral fixed-angle plate fixation].
TLDR
It is concluded that unilateral locked screw plating is a good alternative in the treatment of problematic fractures of the tibial plateau that are associated with soft tissue damage and metaphyseal comminution.
Functional outcomes of severe bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with dual incisions and medial and lateral plates.
TLDR
Medial and lateral plate stabilization of comminuted bicondylar tibial plateau fractures through medial and lateral surgical approaches is a useful treatment method; however, residual dysfunction is common.
Open reduction and fixation of medial Moore type II fractures of the tibial plateau by a direct dorsal approach
TLDR
The direct dorsal approach to the tibial plateau represents an adequate method to enable direct fracture exposure, open reduction, and internal fixation in posterior shearing medial Entire Condyle fractures and is especially valuable when also the dorso-lateral plateau is depressed.
Posterior Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Fractures
TLDR
Posterior bicondylar tibial plateau fractures have a high association with lateral meniscal pathology and can be associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury and the dual-incision approach to these challenging fractures can result in good to excellent knee function.
Frequency and Fracture Morphology of the Posteromedial Fragment in Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Fracture Patterns
TLDR
A posteromedial fragment was observed in nearly one third of the bicondylar plateau fractures evaluated, and may have clinical implications when using currently available laterally applied fixed-angle screw/plate implants to stabilize these injuries.
Limited posterolateral surgical approach to the knee for excision of osteoid osteoma.
TLDR
This case report reaffirms the frequent difficulties and tardiness in diagnosing osteoid osteomas and the need to include these tumors in the differential diagnosis of knee pain and epiphyseal lesions.
Combined intra-articular and varus opening wedge osteotomy for lateral depression and valgus malunion of the proximal part of the tibia.
TLDR
A knee-joint-preserving osteotomy can provide satisfactory results in active patients with painful posttraumatic lateral depression and valgus malunion of the proximal part of the tibia.
