The classification systems for tibial plateau fractures: how reliable are they?

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the inter-observer reliability and intraobserver reproducibility of three different classification systems for tibial plateau fractures.

Materials And Methods: Four observers of various levels of experience classified 50 tibial plateau fractures. The same observers repeated the classification of the same fractures after an interval of 8 weeks.

Nutcracker fracture of the cuboid: a case report.
