I'm 4 months into healing a tibial plateau fracture and detached medial meniscus. I have a metal plate and 4 screws in there. They had me bending it 12 hours post surgery and every day since..no down time! Got cleared to put weight on it 1 month ago and am 80% back to normal. Just about have stairs down and running is the last part. I believe the key to healing fast is MOVEMENT immediately and from then on!!!! Immobility lets it stiffen up and makes rehab harder. Good luck all! :)

Does nice job of illustrating damage to the articular surface in tibial plateau fracture; excellent illustration & explanation of risk for eventual subsequent destruction of total joint articular cartilage with tibial articular cartilage breakdown impacting femoral (starting ~4:55) 8 29 2015

I'm 4 weeks into healing, after a fwit in an SUV t-boned me on my motorbike. I felt a bit sick watching the animation but I understand a bit more now. Got a plate and 9 screws in there. Thanks for your comments, Ljiljana, I'll make sure I keep up the physio.

I have tibia multiple fractures, my bone got many fractures from knee to downwards (just like when u hit bamboo it splits in multiple lines like that ) grafting was also done from bone taken from left hip and artificial grafting gel was also inserted on my knee . 20 inch titanium plate was inserted with 19 screws. My operation was done on first week of January 2017 . After the stitch was cut which was around 3 weeks of operation I had infection on my leg which took time to heal . Temporary support was given , for alternative day dressing of the wound . The wound took 1 month to heal . So after almost 2 month after my operation casting was done . Cast was removed after long 3 months and 20 days as the bones took very long time to heal. On 15 2017 June cast was removed and was shown simple exercises to perform and yet not to start weight bearing . 15 July after check up I was asked to start physiotherapy session nd slowly touch my feet to the floor . After long 7 month of confinidness felt the freedom of feeling my feet . With 6 days of physiotherapy I am not able to slowly walk on both legs but for support I am asked to take support of crutches . Presently the knee is still not 100 healed but I am allowed to walk around slowly with stick . Great work by the doctor .

Sehr interessant. Ich hatte auch nach Fahrradunfall eine LateraleTbial Fractur links.Gleiche Metallschiene im Knie gehabt. Bei diesen Bruch ist die Beugung des Knies das Problem. Man braucht sehr viel Therapie und Geduld.Heute nach 5 Jahren immer noch nach langen stehen Problem. Nachfolge des Unfalls.Aber ich kann wieder Fahrrad fahren und darüber bin ich dankbar.Danke für das Video

Last month i slipped on ice and fractured both tibila and fibula bones right at the bottom close to my ankle. My family thought it was a sprain at first but i wore a splint first, then a external fixator, then hsd it removed and had the plates and scress in me. Im in a red cast. Im glad this didn't happen to my papa last month. Better me than him

Crushed my tibial plateau April Friday 13, 2012. Only had a 7 inch plate and 3 screws put in and didn't damage my femoral cartilage in the accident. I feel like the lucky one here.

I had tibial plateau fracture 2 yrs ago but instead of a Y fracture like shown in the video, it was in pieces literally just from tripping and they had to put in a fixation plate. Instead of a 2 and a half hour surgery like usual, it took over 4 hours. Didn't notice it until the x-rays at the hospital because at the time I was running downhill during the winter (which was a bad idea to begin with) and there was so much adrenalin in my system I didn't feel it until later. Now I have a huge L shape scar on my leg starting at the left side of the knee and 3 quarters down the middle of my leg.

My wife shattered her TP into many pieces after a fall in early Nov 2013. She had plates put in on both sides. 10hr surgery. After 2 wks in the hospital, then 2 more at rehab, she developed a major infection at the site. She went back into the hospital. Most of the flesh on front shin and around 1 side was removed from knee down 2/3 way to the ankle. Nearly a loss of limb situation. Required reconstructive plastic surgery. 11 surgeries and 2.5 mo in the hospital, including time in the ICU. Finally got home in mid Feb. Now 50% weight bearing and in PT. Not sure what the future will bring but like the end of the video showed, we are expecting a knee replacement when the bone surfaces rub and totally degenerate. Be careful out there! ;-(

thank you for the post. I had surgery _tibia plateau fracture left knee 5years ago with bone graft from right hip wich is causing some problems and numbness on the lateral side of the leg where on the right tigh i think this will be permanent discomfort and my doctor DR...OUMADJI. Very Skilled orthopaedic surgeon said I will have to be prepared for an early osteoarthritis. not good a news forgot to mention only one piece of bone fractured.also she inserted a metal plate with nine.screws still there looks like mini Eiffel tower.welcome for sight seeing ha ha ha

I got this in 2016. Worst day of my life. Type V TPF 8 hour surgery. 9 screws 2 plates. I've been having extreme knee pain starting in October of this year. X-rays look good, great space, but my Patella has some cartilage flap and I can't really walk anymore without severe pain. I'm scared to get a TKR because I'm only 37. And TKR success after this injury isn't very good like a normal OA person.

Just had this surgery along with a plate in my wrist after a skateboarding accident. The surgeon did a 12 screw plate though

Should be nice if you use cancellous screws to fix articulation. Doing that way you will never have fracture compression

The plateau where you got this word sounds beautiful. In the disease there are the words crisis, i.e. the rise of the disease, the decline of the disease and remission, weakening or decrease. Those. the process of movement of disease or recovery. Plateau geographical designation (fr. Plateau, from plat - "flat") - an elevated plain with a flat or wavy, weakly divided surface, bounded by distinct ledges from the neighboring plain spaces of the earth's surface. The plateau does not have movement because it is a plane. displacement due to the shift of tectonic plates. We are constantly on it on the plateau. It does not rise and fall. I did not understand. What does medicine and geography do. There is a name stable remission. Reconvalescence is a recovery process. normal life of the body after an illness. Stable (lat. Equilibrium) state of health. Have not tried to repeat the textbook of geography the geographic society can sue you for illegal use of the geographic designation of the plateau.
