Arthroscopic-assisted fluoroscopic treatment of tibial plateau fractures has
gained popularity in the last decade and is now indicated as one of the treatments of
choice in Schatzker types 1, 2 and 3 fractures; it ensures optimal reduction and a stable
fixation with plate or cannulated screws may be performed after reduction. In selected
type 4 fractures arthroscopy may allow an evaluation of articular fracture reduction,
thereby obviating the need for extensive arthrotomy. This chapter aims to review the
technical points that are useful to the successful video-assisted management of tibial
plateau fractures.
