Treatment of Isolated Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Fracture with a Horizontal Belt Plate through the Anterolateral Supra-Fibular-Head Approach

Figure 1

(a) Posterolateral shearing tibial plateau fracture model. Mark a is the lateral edge of the tibial plateau, mark o is the centre of the tibial intercondylar eminence, mark b is the lateral border of the tibial intercondylar eminence, and mark c is the intersection point of the lateral and medial tibial condyles. (b) The specimen was fixed on the testing machine. (c) The mark point of the fracture fragment and the proximal tibia, the connecting wire, and the 3D motion capture system. The posterolateral fracture models of the tibial plateau were randomly divided into 3 groups: (d) horizontal plate, (e) lateral low-profile anatomical locking compression plate, and (f) posterior reconstructive plate.
