Unusual Good Functional Outcome After Surgical Management of Maluniting Schatzker Type II Fracture

Tibial plateau fractures account for approximately 1% of all fractures. The reported incidence is about 10.3 per 100,000. Isolated tibial plateau fracture with articular step-off of 4 mm or less can be optimally treated with conservative management. An unstable joint requires further workup to determine whether fracture fragment movement or ligament pathology is the underlying cause of instability. We report the management of a case of delayed presentation of the proximal tibia with the neck of fibula fracture with foot drop.
