Tibial Plateau ORIF (Unicondylar or Bicondylar): Restoring Knee Load Transmission

Tibial plateau fractures involve the knee joint surface and require accurate fixation to prevent arthritis.

For ORIF of tibial plateau fractures, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 9,000 – 12,600
• Anaesthetist: Not applicable

Coverage is usually favourable:
• Major joint trauma
• Hospitalisation benefits apply

Clarify whether the fracture is unicondylar or bicondylar, as complexity affects fees.

Joint-surface restoration is critical. Insurance should support definitive repair.
