Tibial spine fracture is relatively rare variety of fracture in the orthopedic practice. They present with unusual etiology, mode of presentation and complications. The methodology of treatment of these fractures may be conservative, surgery or arthroscopic reduction. Patients who were diagnosed with tibial spine avulsion were analyzed; 22 patients diagnosed clinically were evaluated in detail for etiology, presentation and treatment setup. The knowledge of early detection of tibial spine fracture and accuracy treatment yields best outcome.

Abstract


Tibial spine fracture is relatively rare variety of fracture in the orthopedic practice. They present with unusual etiology, mode of presentation and complications. The methodology of treatment of these fractures may be conservative, surgery or arthroscopic reduction. Patients who were diagnosed with tibial spine avulsion were analyzed; 22 patients diagnosed clinically were evaluated in detail for etiology, presentation and treatment setup. The knowledge of early detection of tibial spine fracture and accuracy treatment yields best outcome.
