title: [Tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture and posterior fracture of the proximal tibial epiphysis].
abstract: Avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity are rare. In general, juvenile male athletes sustain this fracture. A combination of Ogden type 3A fracture in combination with a posterior fracture of the proximal tibial epiphysis type Salter 2 is described for the first time. The necessity for immediate surgical intervention to prevent secondary soft tissue injury is stressed.
