Which Schatzker type has been suggested to be a "knee dislocation equivalent"?
The correct answer is:
Medial tibial plateau fractures, Schatzker type IV, have been suggested to be the result of a knee dislocation and spontaneously reduces.
This type is associated with a higher risk of neurovascular injury. You must do a thorough neurovascular exam on these patients, and have a low threshold for ordering an ABI if you notice abnormal pulses when compared to the contralateral extremity.
