This : This is basically an incomplete fracture. If it is at the level of the joint ot would indeed be an incomplete tibial plateau fracture.

Micro trabecular: In layman's terms a microtrabecular fracture is basically a deep bone bruise. This is a diagnosis only seen on MRI and not on regular x-rays. Generally this implies a less severe injury compared to a standard fracture.
