Plain antero-posterior (a) and lateral (b) radiographs of the left knee of a 17 year old male with a complete dislocation of the knee and a lateral tibial plateau fracture (Schatzker II, AO/OTA 41-B3.1). The white arrow shows the lateral plateau fragment on the antero-posterior view. Schematic diagram (c) of the lateral radiograph showing dislocation on both medial (red drawing) and lateral (green drawing) femoro-tibial joint lines. The line representing the lateral tibial plateau is interrupted due to the fracture of the anterior part of the lateral plateau. Fem: femur; Fib: fibula; LFC: lateral femoral condyle; LTP: lateral tibial plateau; MFC: medial femoral condyle; MTP: medial tibial plateau; Pat: patella; Tib: tibia
