A Biomechanical Study of Posteromedial Tibial Plateau Fracture Stability: Do They All Require Fixation?
In this cadaveric model of a posteromedial tibial plateau fracture, both fracture fragments studied displaced with knee flexion, even at low flexion angles. Although such fragments may initially seem nondisplaced after injury, posteromedial fragments similar to these tested are likely to displace during knee range of motion exercises in non-weight-bearing conditions.
We conclude that iron deficiency acutely suppresses gallbladder and SO nNOS, and that compensatory mechanisms return nNOS to baseline levels while cholesterol crystal formation increases over time.
