  • Title: [Tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture and posterior fracture of the proximal tibial epiphysis].
    Author: Kessler T, Wagner N, Winkler H.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 2006 Nov; 109(11):990-4. PubMed ID: 16841228.
    Abstract:
    Avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity are rare. In general, juvenile male athletes sustain this fracture. A combination of Ogden type 3A fracture in combination with a posterior fracture of the proximal tibial epiphysis type Salter 2 is described for the first time. The necessity for immediate surgical intervention to prevent secondary soft tissue injury is stressed.
