Fracture of the Tibial Plateau Is Not an Avulsion Injury
نویسنده
چکیده
We report a case of an apparent avulsion fracture of the posteromedial margin of the medial plateau of the tibia. This was associated with a tear of the medial meniscus and rupture ofthe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This triad has been previously reported, and the plateau fracture was related to the insertion of the semimembranosus tendon. The detailed investigation of our case and some experiments on cadaver knees showed that the injury was not an avulsion fracture but was produced by varus and external rotation forces on a flexed knee. It was due to the anterior subluxation ofthe medial tibial plateau after rupture of the ACL.

Combined Avulsion Fracture of the Tibial Tuberosity and Lateral Tibial Plateau in an Adolescent: Case Report
UNLABELLED Avulsion of the tibial tuberosity is uncommon. It is usually an athletic injury, accounting for less than 3% of all epiphyseal injuries. We report the case of an avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity with unusual articular involvement of the lateral tibial plateau treated with open reduction and internal fixation using cancellous screws. The result was excellent, with complete u...

INTRODUCTION The Segond injury corresponds to a marginal avulsion fracture of lateral tibial plateau, resultant from flexion traumas, stress in varus and internal rotation. The structure responsible for avulsion is the lateral collateral ligament, and anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscal injuries are also frequently present(1-4). Hall and Hochman(5) provided the first report of an in...

Reverse Segond fracture is an uncommon avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the deep portion of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. We report a reverse Segond fracture associated with anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture and anteromedial tibial rim fracture. Unlike previous reports, the combination of reverse Segond fracture, anteromedial tibial rim fracture, and...

RATIONALE It is challenging to visualize and reduce a posterolateral tibial plateau fracture through an anterolateral approach as the tibial plateau fragments are often covered by the fibular head and ligamentous structures. PATIENT CONCERNS In this case report, we describe a patient with a depression fracture of the posterolateral quadrant combined with a split fracture of the posteromedial ...

Marginal fractures of the medial tibial plateau have been reported in the literature as a secondary type of Segond fracture. Some reports described this entity in the setting of combined injuries such as root avulsions of the medial meniscus, complete disruption of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and tears of the medial meniscus and m...
