  • Title: Fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia in childhood.
    Author: Driessen MJ, Winkelman PA.
    Journal: Neth J Surg; 1984 Jun; 36(3):69-72. PubMed ID: 6738888.
    Abstract:
    Fracture of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia occurs more frequently in children than in adults. This fracture may occur as an isolated injury without damage to the other structures of the knee joint. X-ray examination of the painful swollen knee of the child is necessary to determine the exact diagnosis. Type I and type II fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia require only immobilisation in a plaster cast after anatomical reposition. Open reduction is often necessary following type III fractures and almost invariably following type IV fractures. Following anatomical reposition of the avulsed fragment the prognosis for complete recovery is excellent.
