Morphological study of proximal fibular fractures with concomitant tibial plateau fractures: An investigation of 223 cases.

ABSTRACT: ObjectiveThis study aimed to systematically characterize the morphological patterns of proximal fibular fractures occurring concurrently with tibial plateau fractures.MethodsData were retrospectively collected from a Level-1 trauma center between January 2011 and January 2024 by querying hospital information and picture archiving and communication systems with keywords "tibial plateau fracture" and "fibular fracture" or "fibular head fracture." Radiographic morphology was evaluated using standard anteroposterior radiographs and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT), categorizing proximal fibular fractures into 13 predefined morphological patterns. Descriptive data, including fracture location, number of fragments, and degree of displacement, were recorded and classified. The distri
