title: [Segond's fracture at the knee level].
abstract: Ten patients out of twelve with Segond's fracture were treated surgically, checking the existence of an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament and in the remaining two were confirmed clinically and by radiology. Some controversy has existed regarding just what type of injury was being treated, and if it was associated or not with a ligament injury. In that series the injury was defined exactly, and we confirm the opinion of authors such as Insall, who consider it to be a pathognomonic sign of injury of the anterior cruciate ligament.
