Apophyseal injuries of the proximal tibial tubercle.
Avulsion fractures of the tibial apophysis are rare. Seven cases were treated between 1993 and 1998 in our department. The treatment was conservative in 1 case, in the other 6 open reduction and internal fixation was used. The results after an average of 23 months were good. There were no growth disturbances.
