-a) Measurement of joint depression and lateral widening in tibial plateau fracture on CT. The distance between the tibial joint line drawn parallel to the femoral condylar line and the most distally collapsed joint part indicates joint depression. The distance between the lateral femoral condyle and the lateral tibial plateau indicates joint widening. b) X ray. c) Red arrow indicates lateral meniscus bucket handle tear. Green arrow indicates displaced articular surface on MRI.

Tibial plateau fractures are usually associated with soft tissue injury. This study aimed to use the extent of joint depression and lateral widening in computed tomography (CT) to predict the soft tissue injury accompanying fractures.The study included 23 patients with type Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen-classified 41B fractures.
