Segway and Katy Perry

   





The Segway, the two-wheeled, motorised self-transport device is becoming increasingly popular across the globe. Stumbling from a moving Segway places pressure on the knee joint while it is being medially or laterally stressed. This is the mechanism associated with tibial plateau fractures; complex fractures often associated with other soft tissue injuries. 


This is the case of a young, otherwise healthy woman, who tripped from a moving Segway and sustained a lateral depressed tibial plateau fracture. The fracture healed well and she has returned to an almost normal level of function with intensive physiotherapy.
