The purpose of the study was to analyze the exact correlation between CT images of lateral plateau and lateral meniscus injuries in Schatzker II TPFs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 296 patients with Schatzker II TPFs from August 2012 to January 2021 in two trauma centers were enrolled for the analysis. According to the actual situation during open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and knee arthroscopic surgery, patients were divided into meniscus injury (including rupture, incarceration, etc.) and non-meniscus injury groups. The values of both lateral plateau depression (LPD) and lateral plateau widening (LPW) of lateral tibial plateau on CT images were measured, and their correlation with lateral meniscus injury was then analyzed. The relevant receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the optimal cut-off point of the two indicators which could predict meniscus injury.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The intra- and inter-observer reliabilities of LPD and LPW were acceptable (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)\u2009&gt;\u20090.8). The average LPD was 13.2\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2\u2009mm while the average value of the group without meniscus injury was 9.4\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2\u2009mm. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The average LPW was 8.0\u2009\u00b1\u20091.4\u2009mm and 6.8\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6\u2009mm in meniscus injury and non-meniscus injury groups with a significant difference (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The optimal predictive cut-off value of LPD and LPW was 7.9\u2009mm (sensitivity-95.0%, specificity-58.8%, area under the curve (AUC-0.818) and 7.5\u2009mm (sensitivity-70.0%, specificity - 70.6%, AUC - 0.724), respectively. The meniscus injury group mainly showed injuries involving the mid-body and posterior horn of lateral meniscus (98.1%, 157\/160).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mid-body and posterior horn of lateral meniscus injury is more likely to occur in patients with Schatzker II TPFs when LPD\u2009&gt;\u20097.9\u2009mm and\/or LPW\u2009&gt;\u20097.5\u2009mm on CT. These findings will definitely provide guidance for orthopedic surgeons in treating such injuries. During the operation, more attention is required be paid to the treatment of the meniscus and the possible fracture reduction difficulties and poor alignment caused by meniscus rupture and incarceration should be fully considered in order to achieve better surgical results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12891-021-04967-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]],"date-time":"2022-01-03T17:02:57Z","timestamp":1641229377000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Correlation between CT images of lateral plateau and lateral meniscus injuries in patients with Schatzker II tibial plateau fractures:a retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"Pu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhu","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ding","family":"Wenge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Yue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiang","family":"Xiaowei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wang","family":"Kejie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhao","family":"Yiwen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huang","family":"Zhihui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dai","family":"Xiaoyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"4967_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"471","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ocl.2020.06.003","volume":"51","author":"JDJ Adams Jr","year":"2020","unstructured":"Adams JDJ Jr, Loeffler MF.
