Reconstruction of the lateral tibia plateau fracture with a third triangular support screw: A biomechanical study

Background: Split fractures of the lateral tibia plateau in young patients with good bone quality are commonly treated using two minimally invasive percutaneous lag screws, followed by unloading of the knee joint. Improved stability could be achieved with the use of a third screw inserted either in...
