Symptoms
If you have discomfort or pain around or in the upper area of the shinbone, it might be a clear sign of a tibial plateau fracture. There are also other symptoms, such as swelling, bruising, trouble bearing weight on the leg, bones breaking through the skin, joint pain, as well as leg paleness due to reduced blood flow. These problems can be easily noticed, so make sure to consult your doctor early. A physical exam can help find out the problem and possible causes. [4]
