Abstract
The main elements of the surgical management of tibial plateau fractures are anatomical reduction, firm fixation, and bone grafting. Inadequate fixation, malreduction, and bone defects can lead to the failure of surgical treatment. The key to successful surgical treatment is a well-designed surgical scheme tailored on the specific fracture type and soft tissue condition; this can prevent serious complications and resultant malpractice suits.
