Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures in children

Abstract: Purpose of review To summarize and discuss the fundamentals of pediatric tibial tubercle avulsion fractures (TTAFs) including preferred imaging modalities, systems for fracture classification, frequently associated injuries, treatment options, outcomes, and common complications. Recent findings Although TTAFs amount to fewer than 1% of all physeal injuries in children, the incidence is increasing, likely because of greater participation in high-level at… Show more

“…On the other hand, surgical treatment should be considered in displaced fractures, which happens in more than 80% of TTAFs, or when there is intra-articular extension of the fracture line [1,2,6,7,12,13]. This typically applies to type II-V fractures [3,6,10,15]. There are several surgical options, including ORIF with cannulated screws or K-wires, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, arthroscopy or soft tissue repair [1][2][3]5,7,[10][11][12][13]15].…”

“…Fractures with intra-articular involvement, such as types III and IV, are more likely to be associated with meniscal injuries, and further study using MRI is advisable [1][2][3]7,15]. Ligament injuries are unusual [1,3,13].…”
