Abstract
Severe valgus deformity of the knee secondary to osteoarthritis can pr edispose to stress fracture of the lateral tibial plateau. Described h erein is a case of severe valgus knee deformity that was complicated b y an intra-articular tibial plateau stress fracture and treated by a f ully constrained Guepar hinge prosthesis with a satisfactory end resul t. The etioIogy and mechanism of this complication are discussed, with emphasis on the diagnostic process.
