Recent news of an injury to safety Daniel Sorensen brought a press release from the team stating that he underwent surgical intervention to address at least one injury suffered in practice the other day.
As the team stated, Sorensen suffered a torn lateral meniscus, an MCL injury and a tibial plateau fracture, which was repaired.
While the first two conditions are fairly well known, I believe the least well known of the three deserves some explanation. The purpose of this article is to discuss what a tibial plateau fracture is and why it requires surgery to address the issue.
