The discrepancy between the radiological and the morphological finding, which we know from the clinic, could be confirmed in examinations of experimentally produced fractured of the lateral tibial condyle. The depth of the impressions of the tibial plateau and the width of the gap of the fracture can only be shown on additional tomographs and oblique radiographs of the knee-joint. Pure impressions of the tibial plateau up to a depth of 3 mm are totally beyond the radiological methods known for the present.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
