Overview
Common risk factors in the development of tibial plateau fracture include age, female gender, and health conditions.
Risk Factors
- Many tibial plateau fracture commonly occur in healthy bones if the trauma is severe enough such as a car accident or sports injury. They can happen even in people over 60 are due to osteoporosis if the fall was relatively minor such as a fall from a standing position.[1][2][3][4][5]
Age
- The incidence of distal radius fracture has a bimodal distribution during the life span.
- The incidence is high in the young adulthood and increases again in older adults.
Gender
- Gender distribution curves for tibial plateau fracture incidence in the young to middle adulthood indicate that men aged 19-49 years have a higher risk than women of the same age.
- Beyond that age, the rate of tibial plateau fracture increases markedly such that women older than 50 years have a 15% lifetime risk, whereas the incidence in men remains low until they reach the age of 80 years.
Health conditions
- Health conditions that predispose to increase risk of tibial plateau fracture include:[6]
