As others have alluded to, there are many “flavors” of tibial plateau fractures. A non-displaced fracture only involving one side of the plateau with no joint depression is much different than a bi-condylar fracture with joint line depression.

The first can be non operatively treated in some cases and other cases need plate and screws. 6-12 weeks of non weight bearing and then rehab.

The second case is a beast and requires a much more extensive surgery and rehab and will most assuredly end with post traumatic arthritis.
