Tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) are usually associated with ligamentous or meniscal injuries that could remain misdiagnosed. An appropriate and early recognition may change the surgical management of these soft tissue (STIs) be addressed concomitantly TPF treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an efficient diagnostic test to identify all STIs in TPFs. This study aims analyze MRI impact identifying guiding treatment
