The use of 2D CT can be recommended for classifying tibial plateau fractures with the Schatzker classification, AO/OTA classification and Hohl classification. The value of 3D CT on the interobserver agreement of commonly used classification systems remains uncertain and unproven. Therefore, we do not recommend the use of 3D CT for the classification of tibial plateau fractures. Overall, the advancement of imaging techniques is not in line with the advancement in interobserver agreement on fracture classification.
