There was a significant relationship between the higher energy tibial plateau fracture type (AO/OTA 41C) and the presence of an associated proximal fibula fracture. The presence of a proximal fibula fracture with a tibial plateau fracture is an indicator of a higher energy injury and a higher likelihood of meniscal injury.
