Don't have the X-rays, I don't think its to bad as the ER doc had to call the orthopedic to verify. Ortho scheduled an appointment for Monday.

Wasn't me, was the wife(pics of x-ray when I get them).

Who new a Friday driveway drink could be dangerous.

Can a plateau fracture not involve the joint?

The Tibia Plateau is the part of the Tibia that makes the lower part of the knee.

Now I know most OTers know more than a Physician but it depends on how "unlevel" the plateau is. The surgery tries to make it flat again. Now, any Orthobro can replace a hip but a tibia plateau fracture can be a difficult surgery. And don't say your Ortho is a nice guy, they all are nice. Good luck
