- Moderate to high-energy trauma
- 8% to 43% of these are open fractures and Ligament disruption seen in 43% to 80%
- CT scan is done to assess the articular collapse and fracture comminution
- Schatzker classification is commonly used
- Treatment is often aimed at restoring the articular congruity, coronal alignment and angular stability
- Open reduction and internal fixation is the traditional means of fixation for bicondylar tibial plateau fractures
- Dual plating to be more stable
- Definitive Ex-fix also gives comparable results to plating
