49+ Lateral Tibial Plateau Anatomy
49+ Lateral Tibial Plateau Anatomy. Medial tibial plateau is larger, stronger and transmits more weight. The anatomy of the tibial plateau leads to an eccentric load distribution in which the lateral plateau bears 40% of the knee's load.1 this asymmetric weight bearing results in increased medial subchondral bone formation and a stronger, denser medial plateau.
