Biomechanical Analysis of Posteromedial Tibial Plateau Fracture Fixation in Fresh Cadaveric Bone

This study aims to compare the mechanical strength of three different posterior-based internal fixation methods for posteromedial tibial plateau fractures. The study utilized 12 tibial plateaus harvested from fresh-frozen cadavers, and the posteromedial fracture fragments were created. The bones were then randomly assigned to one of three fixation methods: two posteroanterior lag screws (LS) size 4.0 mm, posterior buttress plate using a 3.5 mm small dynamic compression plate (DCP), or posterior buttress plate using a 3.5 mm T-shaped plate (TP).
