Purpose: Proximal fibula fractures are often associated with tibial plateau fractures, but their relationship is poorly characterized. The purpose of this study was to better define the relationship between tibial plateau injury severity and presence of associated soft tissue injuries.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on all operatively treated tibial plateau fractures at a Level 1 trauma center over a 5-year period.
Objective: To quantify soft tissue perfusion changes in pilon fractures during staged treatment using laser-assisted indocyanine green angiography (LA-ICGA).
Setting: Level 1 trauma center.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
