Medial tibial plateau morphology and stress fracture location: A magnetic resonance imaging study

Figure 1 Representative magnetic resonance imaging images of T2-weighted coronal and sagittal views of linear type (A and B) and stellate type (C and D) in stress fractures of the medial tibial plateau.

Figure 2 Magnetic resonance imaging illustrating the method used to determine the medial and posterior slopes. The angles of tibial medial and posterior slopes were represented by a segment of red circle between blue and yellow lines.

Figure 3 Representative magnetic resonance imaging of T2-weighted sagittal (A, D, and G) and coronal (B, E, and H) views in the anteromedial (AM), posteromedial (PM), posterior (P) types of medial tibial plateau stress fractures. Illustrative diagrams of the fracture area (orange) of AM (C), PM (F), and P (I) types at the tibial plateau. Ant: Anterior; Lat: Lateral; Med: Medial; Post: Posterior. J: Relationship between fracture location and posterior tibial slope of the medial tibial plateau. Error bar indicates standard error, ^aP < 0.05.
