Abstract EN
Tibial tubercle sleeve fracture is a rare injury.
In concept, it is similar to the patellar sleeve fracture in a skeletally immature patient.
We describe a unique case of simultaneous bilateral tibial tubercle sleeve fractures in a 12-year-old boy.
Radiographs and MRI confirmed the injury.
The patient underwent open surgical repair of bilateral sleeve fractures with suture anchor fixation.
At the final followup, 3 years after his initial injury, the patient demonstrated full knee function bilaterally without radiographic evidence of growth disturbances.
