β¦ Synopsis
Five cases of fracture of the lateral tibial condyle of the split-depression type were treated by elevation of the depressed fragment, bone grafting and cancellous bone screws. During the operation, tantalum markers were inserted into the depressed fragment and the tibial metaphysis for radiographic stereophotogrammetric analysis. Postoperatively a plaster cast was applied for one month and weightbearing was not allowed for 3 months. In three cases, a depression of the elevated fragment, at the most 2.8 mm, recurred during the first month after operation. This was not considered to be significant and more aggressive postoperative mobilisation may be warranted.

Une r6cidive de l'enfoncement du fragment relevd (2.8 mm au maximum) est survenue dans trois cas, durant le premier mois post-op~ratoire. Les auteurs concluent que la raise en ddcharge post-opdratoire n'est pas indispensable et qu'une mobilistion prdcoce plus active pourrait dtre envisagge.

Seventy patients with 72 conservatively treated tibial plateau fractures were re-examined after an average of 5 3/4 years. Among 55 fractured knees with a primary articular depression of 1-20 mm, the depression was still present radiographically in 47 knees. No correlation existed between the persis
Stress fracture of the lateral tibial plateau is a rare occurrence. In this article we report a case of stress fracture of the lateral tibial plateau with a radiolucent fracture line in a 52-year-old man. To our knowledge, such a case has not yet been reported.
