plateau


Explanation:
This reference will possibly confirm my choice.

I`m assuming that a "pavé" being flat fits with the word "plateau".

Asker: Thanks for your help. I went for prominence rather than plateau, as the plateau is indeed located slightly higher up and the text I didn't provide referred to an area further down (i.e. near the pilon fracture). Thanks anyways

postero-medial avulsion fragment


Explanation:
A search for "pavé osseux" predominantly yields descriptions of avulsion fractures, for example:

"une mise en tension brutale du ligament croisé antérieur, qui, au lieu de se rompre (entorse grave), cherche à arracher le pavé osseux, l'épine tibiale antérieure, sur lequel il s'attache"
https://www.docteurperraudin.com/fracture-epine-tibiale.html

"Doigt en maillet: Il s’agit d’une fracture articulaire de la partie dorsale de la troisième phalange, correspondant à l’arrachement d’un pavé osseux sur lequel s’insère le tendon extenseur."
