What is the recovery time for a tibial plateau fracture?

Tibial plateau fractures can reach clinical healing in about 3 to 6 months and full recovery in about 1 to 2 years after regular examination and treatment. Tibial plateau fracture is an intra-articular fracture, which in most cases requires surgical treatment to restore the anatomy of the joint surface. Therefore, after a tibial plateau fracture, it is important to go to the hospital for regular examination and treatment. After treatment, basic recovery (clinical healing) can be achieved in about 3 to 6 months, and full recovery can be achieved in about 1 to 2 years. However, it is worth noting that during the recovery period after surgery. Rehabilitation exercises must be carried out under the guidance of the doctor, mainly to prevent stiffness of the knee joint and muscle atrophy of the lower limbs.
