Abstract

The avulsion fractures of the tibial tubercle are not common. This is a case report of a 15 years old athletic ad boy. The diagnosis was suspected in front of the circumstances of the trauma (during 100m race training) and clinical findings (swelling, hematoma and impotence of the involved knee). Plain radiographs were essential to precise the type of avulsion fracture and to determine the adequate treatment. The early open reduction and internal fixation we adopted in this case gave us a satisfactory result.
