This causes the lateral part of the distal femur and the lateral tibial plateau to come into contact, compressing the tibial plateau and causing the tibia to fracture.
A non-displaced fracture of the tibial plateau is when the tibia sustains a break or crack without a fragment of the bone becoming separated. These fractures normally have a better future outcome than displaced fractures and usually, heal without surgical intervention within 3-4 months.
What is a Tibial Plateau Fracture? A tibial plateau fracture is a break of the larger lower leg bone below the knee that breaks into the knee joint itself. It is rare to only just break the bone. This is an injury that can involve the bone, meniscus, ligaments, muscles, tendons and skin around the knee.
The tibial plateau has two articular surfaces, the medial and lateral tibial condyles, also called the medial and lateral plateaus. The medial tibial condyle bears 60% of the knee's weight and is a thicker structure. It is concave in shape and located slightly more distally compared to the lateral tibial condyle.
CPT® 27530 in section: Closed treatment of tibial fracture, proximal (plateau)
Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
Basic Anatomy. The tibial plateau is the flat top portion of your tibia bone, which runs from your knee to your ankle. The bottom end of your thigh bone (femur) and the top end of your tibia form your knee joint. The tibial plateau is a relatively flat surface of bone covered in cartilage.
The tibial plateau is a bony surface on the top of the lower leg (shin) bone that connects with the thigh bone (femur). The medial tibial plateau is the surface on the side corresponding to your big toe, whereas the lateral tibial plateau is on the side corresponding to your pinky toe.
Tibial plateau fractures are typically caused by a strong force on the lower leg with the leg in varus or valgus position, or simultaneous vertical stress and flexion of the knee. Commonly seen in road traffic accidents, sports accidents with a high velocity such as skiing, horse riding, and certain water sports.
Type VI Fracture. The key feature of a Schatzker type VI fracture is a transverse subcondylar fracture with dissociation of the metaphysis from the diaphysis (,Fig 11,,). The fracture pattern of the condyles is variable, and all types of fractures can occur.

The following CPT codes were used to identify the traditional open tibial plateau group: 27535 and 27536 (open treatment of tibial fracture, proximal [plateau]).
Tibial plateau fractures account for 1% of all fractures, and typically occur either as a fragility fracture or secondary to a high-energy impact. These latter injuries are associated with extensive soft tissue injury, life- and limb-threatening complications and long-term sequelae.
We conclude that there is significant impairment of movement and muscle function after fracture of the tibial plateau and that the majority of patients have not fully recovered one year after injury. Loss of movement and reduced muscle function affects recovery after intra-articular fractures.
Non-displaced tibial plateau fractures take up to 3-4 months without surgery to heal. When surgery is required these cases take around 4 months to heal.
A hairline tibial plateau fracture will heal even if you put weight on it but a displaced (where the broken bone has moved) tibial plateau fracture will need surgery and rest to heal properly.
You will be non weight bearing and required to use elbow crutches for between 8-12 weeks depending on the rate of healing with a progression to partial weight bearing. You should be fully weight bearing after 12 weeks if the fractured has healed adequately.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
A Bumper fracture is a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau caused by a forced valgus applied to the knee. This causes the lateral part of the distal femur and the lateral tibial plateau to come into contact, compressing the tibial plateau and causing the tibia to fracture.
