Biomechanical aspects of the posteromedial split in bicondylar tibial plateau fractures —a finite-element investigation

ConclusionsThe results indicate that the additional fixation of a posteromedial split fracture by plate osteosynthesis might be advantageous in bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with lateral plating. This might be even more important in patients with low bone quality.
