ABSTRACT
Focal depressed fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis without any articular involvement is a rare condition. We present a case of a 46-year-old man with a lacerated wound over the right proximal tibia after a history of slip and fall. The imaging involved to diagnose the condition included an X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to exclude a pathological fracture and to better delineate the relationship between the fractured bone and the surrounding structures. Conservative management was indicated and implemented with a positive outcome.
