tibial plateau fracture CT classification AO Foundation imaging indications

Reading File
These films appear to show a right tibial spine (intercondylar eminence) avulsion fracture, often related to an ACL pull-off injury in adolescents.
Apparent complexity from these photos: likely low-to-moderate complexity, because:
  • There is no obvious knee dislocation.
  • I do not see a clearly bicondylar or markedly comminuted tibial plateau fracture.
  • The fracture fragment at the tibial spine may be mildly elevated/displaced, but the exact degree cannot be measured reliably from photographed X-ray films.
This would be classified by the Meyers-McKeever tibial-spine system only after reviewing the original digital images:
  • Type I: nondisplaced
  • Type II: partially displaced/elevated, posterior hinge intact
  • Type III: completely displaced
  • Type IV: comminuted
From the photographs, it could be Type I or Type II, but I cannot confirm that. A CT can define the bony fragment and displacement, while MRI is useful for ACL, meniscus, cartilage, and other ligament injury. Tibial plateau/spine injuries can have associated meniscal and cartilage injury, as noted in Schwartz’s Principles of Surgery, section “Tibial Plateau Fractures.”
Next step: show the original X-rays and radiology report to an orthopedic surgeon, ideally a knee/sports or pediatric orthopedic specialist. Avoid running, jumping, pivoting, or weight-bearing without the treating clinician’s advice until the fracture stability is established. Urgent assessment is needed if there is increasing pain/swelling, numbness, a cold/pale foot, or inability to move the toes.

Can you mark on the xray and make a pic

I marked the suspected tibial-spine/intercondylar eminence area on both AP and lateral views. This is an educational locator, not a definitive diagnosis or measurement.
