What Does Injury In Posterior Lateral Tibial Plateau With Osseous Contusion And Linear Foci Of T1 Hypointensity Mean?
My husband has been diagnosed with injury in posterior lateral tibial plateau with osseous contusion and linear foci of T1 hypointensity suggesting possibility of nondisplaced subchondral fracture. What does it mean? He got injured due to falling on his knee while skiing 2 weeks ago. He wants to go skiing again in 2 days. Is it recommended?

hi This kind of injuries usually go undetected and cause further damage due to active loading. Now that you are aware of this injury , your husband should avoid excessive loading for at least 6 weeks. I would not recommend Skiing at present
