Abstract
|
|
|
Avulsion Fractures of the tibial tubercle prior to epiphyseal cloure are uncommon. Fractures that are seen most frequently in adolescents. Watson-Jones classified these injuries into three types. The authors treated three cases of the tuberosity
fractures.
Two adolescent boys were treated with open reduction and screw fixation and K-wire fixation. One adult man was treated with open reduction and circumferential wire fixation. The Osgood-schlatter disease was diagnosed in tow patients. There were
small
flecks of calcification 3 to 4cm proximal to the tuberele in the two adolescent cases. Functional motion was started within six weaks after operation. No early complications occurred. and nolater deformities, such as genu recuratum as reported by
Blount, were detected. All patients returned to normal activity in one year after an operation.
