The Treatment of Avulsion Fractures of the Tibial Tuberosity in Adolescent Athletes

Abstract: Avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity occur mainly during sport activities and are closely related to the strains exerted on the anterior tibial tuberosity by the extension complex of the thigh. A knowledge of the mechanical aspects of these avulsions may improve understanding of the mechanisms of such injuries. In such avulsion fractures, tensile forces due to the contraction of the quadriceps complex overcome the cohesive forces within the apophyseal cartilage. A 1-month cast immobilisation on an exten… Show more

“…Consequently, the tibial tubercle is likely subject to higher traction stresses. There have been nine tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures in females previously reported in the literature [1,3,6,8,10,21]. Of our 19 patients, one was female and coincidentally, she was also our youngest patient (11 years 5 months).…”

“…Oluş mekanizması genellikle, zorlayıcı fleksiyona karşı quadriceps kasının ani ve kuvvetli kasılması şek-lindedir. OSH zemininde gelişirse basit bir travma sonucunda oluşabilir [2,5]. OSH, dizde ağrı ve şişlik olması ile karekterize bir hastalıktır.…”

“…Sıklıkla adelosan erkeklerde spor aktiviteleri sırasında meydana gelir [1]. Genellikle atlamadan sonra ayağın üzerine kötü şekilde düşme, sıçrama hareketi, dizin engellenmiş ekstensiyonu ve dizin zorlu fleksiyonu sırasında yüksek enerjili bir travmayla oluşur [2]. Hız-la büyüyen adelosanlarda yaygın görülen ve diz ağrısının en sık nedenlerinden biri olan OSH zemininde meydana gelebilir.…”
