Depression depth of different Schatzker types and subtypes of tibial plateau fractures
| Schatzker type | Depression rate (%) | Depression depth, mm | Mean score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type II | 74 (100 %) | 7.85 ± 4.24 a | 73.43 |
| Single anterolateral fracture (SALF) | 48 (64.9 %) | 8.43 ± 4.26 | – |
| Single posterolateral fracture (SPLF) | 4 (5.4 %) | 5.59 ± 2.74 | – |
| Complex fracture (CF) | 22 (29.7 %) | 7.13 ± 4.35 | – |
| Type III | 29 (100 %) | 5.16 ± 1.49 b | 44.71 |
| Type IV | 9 (60.00 %) | 16.7 ± 8.84 a | 120.44 |
| Single posteromedial fracture (SPMF) | 0 | – | – |
| Single anteromedial fracture (SAMF) | 3 (33.3 %) | 8.15 ± 3.40 | – |
| Whole medial fracture (WMF) | 6 (66.7 %) | 17.93 ± 10.05 | – |
| Type V | 26 (86.67 %) | 11.99 ± 6.93 a | 101.81 |
| Type VI | 21 (75.00 %) | 13.25 ± 8.73 a | 107.57 |
Fracture types with different letters means that depression depth were significant different between different Schatzker types
