Abstract EN

Fibular head avulsion fractures are rare and are so-called the arcuate signal.

Avulsion fracture of the iliotibial band and anterolateral ligament is known as a Segond fracture, and it is another rare entity.

We describe the case of a 27-year-old woman who was hit by a car and suffered polytrauma, mainly suffering injuries to both knees.

Radiographs of the knees showed a Segond fracture associated with the arched signal bilaterally.

The aim of this study is to present a rare case report and literature review of a bilateral fibular head avulsion fracture associated with an anterolateral tibial avulsion fracture.
