Rim Plate Augmentation of the Posterolateral Bare Area of the Tibial Plateau Using a 3.5-mm Precontoured Locking Compression Plate: A Cadaveric Study

Abstract

Our results identified a bare area in the posterolateral corner of the lateral plateau that was unsupported by rafting screws following conventional, 3.5-mm, precontoured LCP plating. Thus, additional rim plating may be useful for treating plateau fractures with a posterolateral fragment.
