High-energy episiodiaphyseal fracture of the proximal tibia. Owing to the epiphyseal comminution, the external stabilization is of the femorotibial bridge type. This is done in conjunction with minimal stabilization for the articular fracture. After 40 days, to allow articulation of the knee and definitive healing of the metaphyseal lesion, the bridge is removed and monosegmental stabilization is performed. Radiological and clinical picture 6 months after removal of the fixator.
