Tibial plateau insufficiency fracture

Discussion:

Insufficiency fractures are a type of stress fracture, which are the result of normal stresses on abnormal bone. This diagnosis was achieved based on the clinical data and imaging appearances.

These fractures are usually not identified on conventional radiographs. Radionuclide bone scan, and especially MRI are the modalities of choice when assessing this condition.

In this case, the MRI also demonstrated the tri-compartmental diffuse and advanced osteoarthritis.
