The healing time for tibial plateau fractures varies from person to person, depending on the extent of the fracture and various factors such as the patient’s age and physical condition, and usually takes at least three months to return to normal activities. Most tibial plateau fractures are due to compression by vertical violence, resulting in collapse or comminution of the plateau. After the fracture, some of them can walk normally, but there may be pain or strangulation when walking on the knee joint, so you should go to the hospital for X-ray examination as soon as possible, and if necessary, auxiliary CT examination is needed to make a clear diagnosis. If the tibial plateau is slightly fractured, it can be treated conservatively, usually with external fixation in a brace or plaster, and the duration of fixation is recommended to be about 10-12 weeks. In case of surgical treatment, the patient can generally go to the ground 1-2 weeks after surgery, and can resume normal activities about three months after surgery. In addition, patients should avoid getting cold during the recovery period to avoid affecting the healing of the fracture. Avoid spicy and stimulating food, quit smoking and alcohol, and review X-ray or CT examination regularly to understand the healing of the fracture.
