Simultaneous Bilateral Transitional Fractures of the Proximal Tibia after Minor Sports Trauma
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a very rare case of a 16-year-old healthy athletic boy who sustained simultaneous bilateral transitional fractures of the proximal tibia after kicking a football with his right leg during a soccer game. Following minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis with bridging of the growth plate, the patient recovered rapidly without any growth disturbances.

The use of combined 3.5 LCP unicortical plate and nail fixation in proximal tibia fractures and prevention of valgus and anterior angulation
Introduction: Intramedullary nailing (IMN) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. However, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated IMN fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...

We report a patient who had bilateral stress fractures of proximal tibial shaft secondary to advanced osteoarthritis of knee with varus deformity. With treatment by simultaneous correction of deformity and internal fixation, the fractures healed uneventfully and the chronic knee pain was much alleviated. Due to progression of the symptom, right total knee replacement was finally performed 9 yea...
متن کاملAvulsion fracture of the proximal tibial epiphysis.
Fractures of the tibia through the proximal epiphysis are rare. This injury usually results from severe direct or indirect force about the knee, and has not been described as resulting from a patellar tendon avulsion injury. Four patients presented with five avulsion fractures of the proximal tibial epiphysis. All were older adolescent males who had been engaged in jumping sports when the injur...
متن کاملBilateral trampoline fracture of the proximal tibia in a child
Trampoline fractures are transversely oriented impaction fractures of the proximal tibia sustained by young children jumping on a trampoline. Unaware of the mechanism of this specific nontraumatic fracture, physicians may fail to detect these fractures on plain radiographs, as radiological findings may be very subtle. In this case report, we present a rare case of bilateral trampoline fractures...
