Although this pattern has sometimes been described as a \u2018floating tibia\u2019, the term is not standardised. Management is dictated by fracture morphology, soft\u2010tissue status, patient physiology and the ability to obtain stable articular reduction without additional soft\u2010tissue injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 45\u2010year\u2010old man sustained a closed Schatzker VI tibial plateau fracture, an ipsilateral partial\u2010articular distal tibial plafond fracture documented as AO\/OTA 43\u2010B2 and a comminuted fibular fracture after a motorcycle accident. The patient was haemodynamically stable, had intact distal neurovascular findings and had marked but clinically viable soft tissues without open wounds or fracture blisters (Tscherne Grade II). Preoperative CT was performed and informed planning; however, the original CT data and reconstructed images are no longer retrievable because of limited long\u2010term digital archiving and storage resources in the treating setting in Vietnam. Single\u2010stage fixation was undertaken within 10\u2009h of injury after repeated clinical assessment. The plateau was treated with limited open elevation of the depressed lateral articular surface and submuscular lateral locking\u2010plate fixation; the fibula was plated, and the  distal plafond split was reduced percutaneously and fixed with cannulated lag screws. At 6 months, plain radiographs demonstrated union without loss of alignment (MPTA 87\u00b0, LDTA 89\u00b0). Knee motion was 0\u00b0\u2013120\u00b0; ankle motion was documented as 10\u00b0 dorsiflexion and 30\u00b0 plantarflexion. The Knee Society scores were 85 (knee) and 80 (function), and the AOFAS Ankle\u2010Hindfoot Scale score was 82. No wound infection, loss of reduction, implant failure, nonunion or unplanned reoperation was documented in the available follow\u2010up record. Elective implant removal was performed at 18 months after union at the patient\u2032s request.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Single\u2010stage fixation was technically feasible in this highly selected patient with stable physiology, a closed injury, a clinically viable soft\u2010tissue envelope and a distal articular fracture. This single case does not establish equivalence or superiority to staged management, particularly for severely comminuted or soft\u2010tissue\u2010compromised pilon injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/cro\/8037873","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]],"date-time":"2026-09-16T06:26:42Z","timestamp":1789540002000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Single\u2010Stage Fixation of Ipsilateral Tibial Plateau and Tibial Plafond Fractures: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3733-6278","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tuan Anh","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Man Duc Minh","family":"Phan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9556-4049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Phi Duong","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","first-page":"161","article-title":"Needle Arthroscopy as a Reduction Aid for Lower Extremity Peri-Articular Fractures: Case Series and Technical Tricks","volume":"43","author":"Lopas L.
