Type IIIB tibial intercondylar eminence fracture associated with a complex knee dislocation in a grossly obese adult.
Avulsion fractures of the intercondylar eminence or tibial spine mostly occur in children and adolescents, and are extremely uncommon in adults. A type IIIB intercondylar eminence fracture (i.e. completely displaced and rotated tibial spine) associated with a complex knee dislocation is an extremely rare combination.
