Defining the “mediolateral widening of tibial plateau” as a guide for reduction in tibial plateau fractures: An indian perspective

ConclusionsOwing to individual variations in bony extents around the knee, the differential extent of tibial plateau relative to distal femur would be a more reliable parameter than absolute measurements. Medially the articular extent of distal femur matches with the articular extent of tibial plateau while the lateral extra-articular extent of distal femur matches with the lateral tibial articular extent. Gender-based differences do not significantly affect these two parameters.
