Fracture morphological characteristics and associated soft-tissue injuries in flexion varus tibial plateau fractures

Puntos clave

• This research aims to explore the morphological characteristics of flexion varus tibial plateau fractures and their association with soft-tissue injuries.
• Analyzed the morphologies of medial fragments in flexion varus tibial plateau fractures.
• Evaluated the prevalence of ACL avulsion and lateral meniscus injuries.
• Assessed the relationship between fragmentation type and injury severity.
• Identified various morphological characteristics of the medial fragment in FVTPF.
• Noted predominant ACL avulsion fractures compared to lateral meniscus injuries.
• Found that comminuted medial fragments correlate with higher lateral meniscus injury rates.
• Established that maximal depression depth is significant in predicting lateral meniscus entrapment.
