Located in southwestern Riverside County, the plateau is a treasured keepsake of untrammeled Southern California.
To prevent the plateau from becoming an ecological island in a sea of cities, the Conservancy recently began piecing together land parcels between the plateau and nearby Cleveland National Forest.

 eMedicine - Tibial Plateau Fractures : Article by Steven M Sorenson, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
To injure the medial plateau requires a large amount of force, and fractures of the medial plateau usually are seen in conjunction with fractures of the lateral plateau and other bones about the knee joint, as well as the supporting structures.
Fractures of the tibial plateau are estimated to comprise approximately 1% of all fractures.
The medial plateau generally is believed to be sturdier than the lateral plateau, supporting the clinical observation that medial plateau fractures typically result from the application of more severe forces than required to produce a fracture of the lateral plateau.
