Posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau are difficult to address. Malunion can lead to early posttraumatic arthritis of the knee due to instability and elevated joint reaction forces. Arthroscopically assisted percutaneous reduction facilitates visualization and avoids open approaches either directly from posterolateral or from lateral with optional extension via a lateral epicondylus osteotomy. We describe and illustrate a minimal invasive technique using an arthroscopic posterolateral viewing portal. Using this technique, we demonstrated very good clinical outcome with excellent patient satisfaction.
