An intraarticular fracture is a bone fracture in which the break crosses into the surface of a joint. This always results in damage to the cartilage.[1] Compared to extraarticular fractures, intraarticular have a higher risk for developing long-term complications, such as posttraumatic osteoarthritis.[2] Treatment considerations include restoring joint surface congruity and maintaining joint alignment and stability.
