Dedicated radiographs of the right knee showed a fracture of the medial aspect of the lateral tibial plateau, which extended in an oblique fashion (Fig. 1).

A lower-extremity CT without contrast further characterized the fracture as a nondisplaced, nondepressed, comminuted fracture of the medial tibial plateau (Figure 2, Figure 3).
44-year-old female with nondisplaced medial tibial plateau fracture. Axial CT demonstrates a fracture through the medial plateau (arrow).

A lower-extremity CT without contrast further characterized the fracture as a nondisplaced, nondepressed, comminuted fracture of the medial tibial plateau (Figure 2, Figure 3).
44-year-old female with nondisplaced medial tibial plateau fracture. Axial CT demonstrates the fractured and compressed calcified media of the popliteal artery at the level where the arterial occlusion occurred (arrow).

A diffusely calcified popliteal artery was also noted, but the clearly fractured and partially compressed calcified media was initially not appreciated (Fig. 4).
44-year-old female with nondisplaced medial tibial plateau fracture. Color-flow Doppler of the right popliteal artery demonstrates no flow in the popliteal artery (arrow).

Arterial and venous Doppler ultrasounds showed an absence of flow in the right popliteal artery and post trifurcation arteries that was compatible with an occlusion of the right popliteal artery at the level of the tibial plateau fracture (Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7).
44-year-old female with nondisplaced medial tibial plateau fracture. Doppler of the right popliteal artery demonstrates an area of increased ecogenicity in the right popliteal artery corresponding to the arterial occlusion at the level of the fractured and calcified media (arrow).

Arterial and venous Doppler ultrasounds showed an absence of flow in the right popliteal artery and post trifurcation arteries that was compatible with an occlusion of the right popliteal artery at the level of the tibial plateau fracture (Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7).
44-year-old female with nondisplaced medial tibial plateau fracture. Color-flow Doppler of the right popliteal vein demonstrating an acute clots in the popliteal vein (arrow).
