Abstract EN
Avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity is an infrequent injury in adolescents and an extremely rare occurrence in adults.
We describe the case of an 86-year-old gentleman presenting after a fall, sustaining injury to the left knee.
Radiographs of the left knee showed avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity.
The purpose of this study was to present a rare case of tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture in an adult, the treatment performed, and the challenges faced.
The case is discussed with the review of the literature.
