Not usually: Tibial plateau (front of the bone at it's STRONGEST edge! Shaped like a triangle the tibia plateau is the top "peak"... and this fracture generally heals without casting. The knee is usually stable following such injuries. Hope this is helpful! Dr Z

MRI shows I tore ACL, lateral meniscus root, MCL, and small impaction fracture of lateral tibial plateau. Won't see a surgeon for another week. Is it safe to walk around with a brace with no crutches or will it make my knee worse?
