Arthroscopy-assisted surgery: The management of posterolateral tibial plateau depression fracture accompanying ligament injury: A case series and review of the literature.

Tibial plateau fractures are multiple fracture patterns associated with soft-tissue injuries. Among which, the combined existence of posterolateral tibial plateau depression fracture with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture has been reported rarely. Meanwhile, surgical method for the treatment of depression fracture is fairly complex. The aim of this article is to show a case series of this unusual injury pattern and the therapy of posterolateral tibial plateau depression fracture accompanying ACL rupture. In our treatment, arthroscopy assisted reduction of depression fracture and ACL reconstruction reduces surgical trauma and leads to good functional recovery. We also review the current literature.
