Degree of articular injury as measured by CT cross sectional area is associated with physical function following the treatment of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures.

Our method for calculating articular surface disruption on CT is a simple, reproducible and accurate method for assessing the degree of articular damage in patients with bicondylar tibial plateau fractures. We found that the percentage of cross-sectional articular surface disruption correlates with patient reported outcomes and physical function.
