Tibial Plateau Fracture Repair
You can trust Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians for cutting-edge treatment options for all types of knee injuries, including tibial plateau fractures. A tibial plateau fracture involves damage to the upper part of the shinbone, or tibia. Because this type of fracture is typically a result of an impact injury, it is common for other soft tissues of the knee to be affected. We have distinguished orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians who understand which course of treatment can effectively repair your tibial plateau fracture as well as any muscles, nerves, ligaments or blood vessels that may have been damaged. Our practice includes state-of-the-art facilities staffed with top-ranked physicians in sports medicine. We offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments for knee injuries, implementing the most conservative solutions for your long-term health and function.
Depending on the severity of your fracture, your treatment may include non-surgical measures such as a cast or brace. However, more severe fractures or those that have resulted in soft tissue injury may need surgery. We use the latest in sports medicine technology to offer a full menu of surgical strategies to restore your tibia. Whether you are a young athlete who was injured during a performance or an older adult who suffered a fall, you can trust Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians to recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you recover from your injury as soon as possible.
