Summary
Brief summary
Tibial plateau fractures are often complex fractures and need a good preoperative planning.
The investigators think that a 3D virtual planning software will help the surgeons to get a
better understanding of the fracture and therefore want to study the value of 3D virtual
planning software in the preoperative planning of tibial plateau fractures. The investigators
hypothesize that this software will shorten the duration of surgery, decrease the
peroperative bloodloss and the number of complications.

Patients with tibial plateau fractures who need surgical treatment will be asked to
participate in this study. After participants have given informed consent, they will be
randomized between a 'traditional preoperative planning' and a '3D virtual preoperative
planning' group. Surgeons will plan their surgery using traditional planning tools (X-rays
and CT scan) or traditional planning tools ánd the 3D virtual planning software.

6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery, participants will be asked to fill in 2
questionnaires about knee pain and knee function. After surgery a CT scan or X-ray will be
performed conform standard of care in the hospital.
