Stress fractures of the medial tibial plateau
WD Engber
In a review of thirty-six patients with fifty-seven stress fractures of the
medial tibial plateau, I found that limitation of activity was universally
successful in treatment. Neither displacement of the fracture nor
recurrence of symptoms after healing were seen. The main danger in this
entity is misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
