Proximal tibial fracture - Schatzker Classification

Schatzker Classification for Fracture of the proximal tibia / tibial plateau

Type 1	Vertical split of the lateral condyle
Type 2	Vertical split of the lateral condyle  + compression fracture of the adjacent weight bearing lateral condyle; Associated with Fibular head/neck fracture	Schatzker 2: Vertical split of lateral condyle. There was no fibula fracture in this case. Schatzker 2: Same patient on CT scan
Type 3	Intact condylar margin, but depressed lateral tibial plateau articular surface
Type 4	Medial condylar fracture	Schatzker 4: High energy type, where there is also involvement of the intercondylar eminence
	High energy type: + involvement of intercondylar eminence Low energy type: crush fracture of the medial tibial plateau (irreconstructible)
Type 5	Bicondylar fracture, tibial shaft act as a wedge in between	Schatzker 5: Bicondylar fracture. Notice an inverted 'Y' appearance?
Type 6	Condylar fracture + Shaft fracture (metaphysis disconnected from diaphysis)	Schatzker 6: Bicondylar fracture and... Schatzker 6: and tibial shaft fracture.  From the same patient.
