A method for treating an articular fracture of a tibia using a tibia plate with an extension arm, including: making an incision to expose the tibia; reducing the articular fracture of the tibia; contouring the tibia plate to fit the tibia; preliminarily fixing the tibia plate to the tibia; placing a screw partially into the tibia through a lateral elongated hole in the tibia plate; applying compression between a plate screw hole in the extension arm and an anterior surface of the tibia; and placing additional plate screws in the tibia through additional screw holes in the tibia plate.
