Rest, ice, compression, elevation.
Stress fractures usually take about 6 weeks to heal.
During this time, do not run, jump, or exert excess pressure on the tibia. The only good physical activity to do is swimming, which do not put pressure on the tibia.
If pain worsens, quit swimming, and use crutches to relieve the pressure.
Use ice to ease the pain and inflammation. Pain reliever may be taken.
Compress the ice on the tibia to help the pain or swelling which may occur.
Elevating your leg, will help blood flow to your leg, which will ultimately speed the healing of your bone.
Be sure to visit your physician or physical therapist right away.

What are the dos and don'ts in the treatment of tibial plateau fracture?
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.
How do Calculate engineering fracture stress?
stress= force/C.S.A. so fracture stress = force at fracture / Cross.Sectional.Area.
