Cover Story: Alpine skiers who sustained tibial plateau fractures were evaluated using demographics, Schatzker classification and patient-reported outcomes. We hypothesized that most tibial plateau fractures would be low-energy fracture patterns and occur in women and less-experienced skiers. We found that the mean age was 49, 60% were male, and there were 28 low-energy fracture patterns (Schatzker I–III) and 19 high-energy patterns (Schatzker IV–VI). Contrary to the hypothesis, tibial plateau fractures sustained while alpine skiing occurred in older, experienced riders with approximately 40% being high-energy fractures. Although over 75% of patients reported having no pain or occasional pain at their final follow-ups, less than half of the patients returned to alpine skiing. View this paper
