The recovery time for a comminuted fracture of the tibial plateau generally takes at least three months or more. The speed of recovery varies from person to person, and it has a greater relationship with the type of local fracture and the treatment plan. CT and 3D reconstruction of the knee joint are needed to accurately determine the type of tibial plateau fracture and, if necessary, MRI to understand whether there is a combined meniscal or cruciate ligament injury. For tibial plateau fractures without significant displacement, conservative treatment with plaster fixation is possible, while in case of significant fracture collapse, surgical repositioning and internal fixation treatment should be considered. After surgery, it is recommended to review the x-ray of the knee joint every 2-3 months to understand the healing status of the tibial plateau fracture and to avoid blind weight bearing walking, which may lead to fracture displacement and collapse. For tibial plateau fractures, gradual ambulation is possible in most cases over three months.
