Core Tip	It is well known that patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) following tibial plateau fracture have a high rate of post-traumatic arthritis (PTOA) requiring total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the future. Currently, ORIF is the standard of care for all patients requiring operative management. Small groups of select patients have shown good results with TKA as primary treatment of tibial plateau fracture. This group includes elderly patients with poor bone stock who are shown to have high rates of post-traumatic arthritis and fixation failure. In younger and more active patients, the options for salvage TKA in the case of PTOA is discussed, as this procedure is more complex than primary TKA.
