Case report: We present a case a 51-year-old gentleman who after high energy axial loading of his left knee initially presented atypically of a tibial plateau fracture. Despite a later diagnosis of a Schatzker 5 tibial plateau plateau fracture was able to mobilise fully, without developing fracture displacement. We present the successful non-operative management of this case and report how and why we managed this injury in this manner.
