Abstract
Schatzker type II tibial plateau fractures are most common type of tibial plateau fractures. Type II tibial plateau fractures with articular surface depression of more than 3mm and condylar widening of more than 5mm should be managed operatively. Open reduction, elevation of articular surface with filling of resultant defect with bone graft followed by rigid internal fixation with proximal tibial locking compression plate gives best possible clinical results.
Keywords: type II tibial plateau fractures, bone graft, locking compression plate.
