Dr goldman. mri showed i have a ti bia plateau fracture from a fall at work. i am female and 60. what is the correct treatment-cast or brace?

Depends: Tibial plateau fractures can be tricky. Depends on your bone quality, how many pieces, displacement of pieces, compression of articulate surface. No simple answer between option. Probably best to trust your orthopod.
