title: [Fractures of the tibial spina and tuberosity, or fractures with subluxation of the upper end of the tibia].
abstract: The authors describe several types of fractures of the upper tibial extremity associating some degree of dislocation of one tibial plateau. They analyse the mechanical conditions of such fractures(axial compression with strain in the frontal plane), describe the associated (menisci, ligaments). Therapeutic conclusions are drawn.
