Chondosis is another term used to describe chondromalcia.
The most important thing in treatment of a tibial plateau fracture is realizing it is there. Tibial plateau fractures are notoriously difficult to diagnose since they may not show up on an X-ray early on. Clues a tibial plateau fracture may be present include high-force mechanism of injury, more swelling than would be expected, or pain out of proportion to what you would expect on exam. As noted, identification may be difficult, so if there is high clinical suspicion with an apparently negative plain X-ray, a CT (or MRI) may be needed to identify the fracture. Once diagnosed, the knee should be immobilized in consult with an orthopedist. In most cases, outpatient follow up is appropriate with appropriate analgesia, immobilization and non-weight bearing until follow up is achieved. Pitfalls: tibial plateau fractures have a higher than normal incidence of compartment syndrome given the amount of force required to fracture the tibial plateau. Keep this in mind when making this diagnosis and be alert for signs of compartment syndrome.

Tibial spiking (spurring of tibial spines), is considered as one of the features of osteoarthritis. The other two are eburnation, and osteophytes.

The popliteal vein carries blood from the knee to the thigh and calf muscles and ultimately to the heart. The vein is formed from the merging of the two posterior tibial veins and ends as it merges in to the femoral vein.
It very much depends on the specifics of your injury and medical condition. In general, the bone will be healed within three months but the actual functional recovery can take over a year. This is due to soft tissue damage. A great place to find information about this fracture is www.mytpf.com.

X-Rays allow the surgeon and doctor to determine the type of fracture and the best way to treat it. For example in the case of a Tibial Plateau Fracture it is very important to allign the bone fragments to for the health of the knee joint. Improperly aligned fragment may cause additional damage to the joint and may result in sustained pain for the patient.
