  • Morphologic Variants of Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Impaction Fractures in the Setting of Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear
    2020
    Co-Authors: Bernholt David, Dephillipo Nicholas, Grantham W. Jeffrey, Crawford, Matthew D., Aman, Zachary S., Kennedy Mitchell, Laprade, Robert F.
    Abstract:

    Background: Impaction fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau commonly occur in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, with considerable variability found in fracture size and morphologic features. Purpose: The primary objective was to characterize different morphologic variants of posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures. The secondary objective was to investigate the association between these impaction fracture variants and concomitant meniscal and ligamentous injuries. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence 3. Methods: Patients treated for primary ACL tears and having magnetic resonance imaging available were included in this study, and magnetic resonance images were reviewed with denotation of displaced posterolateral tibial impaction fractures. A classification system was created based on morphologic variants of impaction fractures; associations were evaluated through use of independent Chi-Square Testing. Results: There were 825 knees meeting the inclusion criteria, with displaced posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures present in 407 knees (49.3%). We observed 3 distinct morphologic variants of lateral tibial plateau impaction fractures: (I) posterior cortical buckle not involving the articular surface; (II) posterior impaction fracture involving the articular surface, with subtypes based on (A) tibial plateau depth bone loss 10%; and (III) displaced osteochondral fragment, with subtypes for (A) shear or (B) depressed fragment. Type IIIA impaction fractures were associated with an increased incidence of lateral meniscus posterior root tears (33.3% vs 12.4%; P = .009) and an increased incidence of lateral meniscal tears (83.3% vs 56.7%; P = .024) compared with all knees without type IIIA impaction fracture. An increased incidence of medial collateral ligament (MCL) tears was noted in patients with type IIIA impaction fractures compared with those who had no fracture or had another fracture type (61.1% vs 20.1%; P < .001). Type IIIB impaction fractures were associated with an increased incidence of lateral meniscal tears (80.0% vs 56.2%; P = .005). Conclusion: A high prevalence of displaced posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures occur in the setting of ACL tears, and they can be classified into distinct morphologic subtypes. Posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures with displaced depressed or shear fragments were both associated with an increased incidence of lateral meniscal tears, whereas impaction fractures with a shear fragment were associated with an increased incidence of lateral meniscus posterior root tears and MCL tears

  • Incidence of Displaced Posterolateral Tibial Plateau and Lateral Femoral Condyle Impaction Fractures in the Setting of Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear
    2020
    Co-Authors: Bernholt David, Dephillipo Nicholas, Grantham W. Jeffrey, Crawford Matthew, Aman Zachary, Laprade Robert
    Abstract:

    Background: Bone bruising of the posterolateral tibial plateau and the lateral femoral condyle sulcus terminalis has a well-established association with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Impaction fractures of the femur and tibia may occur in these locations; however, there is a paucity of literature describing these fractures. Purpose: The primary objective was to quantify the incidence, size, and location of impaction fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle in patients with primary ACL tears. The secondary objective was to investigate the association between impaction fractures and concomitant meniscal and ligamentous injuries. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence 4. Methods: Patients with available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans who were treated for primary ACL tear by a single surgeon were identified. MRI scans were reviewed with denotation of posterolateral tibial and femoral condylar contusions and displaced impaction fractures. Measurements of the lateral tibial plateau were taken in all patients with displaced lateral tibial plateau fractures and in a subset of control patients without tibial plateau fracture present to characterize the size and location of the bony lesion. Associations of impaction fractures with concomitant meniscal or ligamentous injuries were evaluated through use of Chi-Square Testing. Results: There were 825 knees identified with available MRI scans. Lateral tibial plateau bone bruising was present in 634 knees (76.8%), and lateral femoral condyle bone bruising was present in 407 knees (49.3%). Posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures were present in 407 knees (49.3%), and lateral femoral condylar impaction fractures were present in 214 knees (25.9%). Patients with posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures were older than patients without these fractures (42.6 vs 32.7 years; P < .001), whereas patients with lateral femoral condylar impaction fractures were younger (23.8 vs 32.7 years; P < .001). There were 71 knees (8.6%) with a posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fracture with greater than 10% loss of lateral tibial plateau depth, and this group had an increased incidence of lateral meniscus posterior root tears (22.1% vs 12.0%; P = .02). Conclusion: Posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures occurred with a high incidence (49.3%) in patients with primary ACL tears and demonstrated an increased association with lateral meniscus posterior horn root tears as their size increased. Lateral femoral condylar impaction fractures occurred in 25.9% of patients with primary ACL tears and entailed an increased incidence of lateral meniscal tears and medial meniscal ramp lesions
