Stress fractures of the medial tibial plateau

---

Engber-WD J-Bone-Joint-Surg-Am. 1977 Sep; 59(6): 767-9 In a review of thirty-six patients with fifty-seven stress fractures of the medial tibial plateau, I found that limitation of activity was universally successful in treatment. Neither displacement of the fracture nor recurrence of symptoms after healing were seen. The main danger in this entity is misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
