Abstract
Simple bicondylar tibial plateau fractures usually occur in a bimodal age distribution. In young patients, high-energy trauma results in comminuted fractures and severe soft tissue damage, whereas in older patients, comminution and soft tissue injury arise mainly from poor bone quality and thin skin. Surgical fixation of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures is challenging because of geographic complexity and compromise of the soft tissue envelope. Treatment goals include preservation of soft tissues, restoration of articular congruity, and correction of anatomic alignment in the lower extremities.
