Does it 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
