Tibial Plateau Fracture Definition and Symptoms
A tibial plateau fracture is a bone fracture in the shinbone (tibia plateau). This break affects the knee joint, stability, and motion. Symptoms include pain when bearing weight, deformity around the knee, numbness in the foot, tenseness around the knee, and pale, cold feet.
