“…In general, medial tibial plateau stress fractures are more common than stress fractures of the lateral tibial plateau[16,17]. Mizuta et al[16] reported a case of the lateral tibial plateau stress fracture, which was associated with knee valgus angulation with 92 degrees of medial tibial slope on radiographs.…”

“…Mizuta et al[16] reported a case of the lateral tibial plateau stress fracture, which was associated with knee valgus angulation with 92 degrees of medial tibial slope on radiographs. Hashemi et al[8] described that the lateral-to-medial slope of the tibial plateau, which they used the term “coronal tibial slope”, ranged between -1°and 6°, whereas the only one subject had a coronal tibial slope of 91° in normal subjects.…”

AIMTo determine the location of medial tibial plateau stress fractures and its relationship with tibial plateau morphology using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).METHODSA retrospective review of patients with a diagnosis of stress fracture of the medial tibial plateau was performed for a 5-year period. Fourteen patients [three female and 11 male, with an average age of 36.4 years (range, 15-50 years)], who underwent knee MRI, were included. The appearance of the tibial plateau stress fracture and the geometry of the tibial plateau were reviewed and measured on MRI.RESULTSThirteen of 14 stress fractures were linear, and one of them stellated on MRI images. The location of fractures was classified into three types. Three fractures were located anteromedially (AM type), six posteromedially (PM type), and five posteriorly (P type) at the medial tibial plateau. In addition, tibial posterior slope at the medial tibial plateau tended to be larger when the fracture was located more posteriorly on MRI.CONCLUSIONWe found that MRI showed three different localizations of medial tibial plateau stress fractures, which were associated with tibial posterior slope at the medial tibial plateau.

“…2,6,7,11 Anterior cortex stress fractures often require surgical intervention such as excision and bone grafting or intramedullary nailing to achieve union. 2,7 Although there have been several reports of isolated medial and lateral tibial plateau stress fractures, 5,10 there is little in the literature with regard to anterior proximal metaphysial tibial stress fractures. There are 2 reports of basketball players with anterior proximal tibial stress fractures just distal to the tibial tuberosity.…”

“…1,2,7,11 Stress fractures of the posteromedial tibial shaft and proximal tibial metaphysis are common and have been reported to heal readily with rest. 3,4,6,7 Although there are reports of isolated stress fractures of the medial or lateral tibial plateau, 5,10 there is little mention in the literature regarding stress fractures of the anterior proximal tibial metaphysis. 1,8 We report on a basketball player with a recurrent, complete stress fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis.…”
