Background: Tibial plateau fractures are complex injuries which require anatomical reduction of bony injuries along with management of associated ligamentous and meniscus injuries. The outcome depends not only on personality of initial injury but on management of fracture and associated injuries also. ORIF is the gold standard for treatment of tibial plateau fractures, but arthroscopic assisted fixation provides a viable alternative for Schatzker type I- IV tibial plateau fractures, as evidenced in this study.
