	These are complete articular fractures of the proximal tibia, with a simple fracture line involving both the articular surface and the metaphyseal area, with slight displacement.				Ref. Manual of Internal Fixation: 208 - 213. 568 - 577. Surgeon. RO.
	Surgical planning consists in first reducing the articular surface with cancellous lag screws followed by internal fixation and compression of the metaphyseal fracture. The epiphyseal lag screws should be preferably placed through a T or an L plate, that facilitates the parallel		placement of the screws. Because of the small thickness of these plates making them quite elastic, it is advisable to place another small plate contralaterally at the level of the metaphyseal fracture to neutralize the flexion stresses.
