Article Synopsis
- Segond fractures, which are avulsion fractures of the proximal lateral tibia, frequently occur alongside ACL tears in pediatric patients, with a study revealing that 73.6% of these fractures were linked to ACL injuries.
- In a review of 53 cases from 2009 to 2019, researchers gathered various data, including demographics and imaging results, finding a median age of 15.4 years among patients.
- The study also noted a high incidence of additional injuries, such as tibial spine fractures (17%) and meniscal injuries (69.8%), confirming that Segond fractures are significant indicators of intra-articular knee injuries in young people.
Purpose: Lisfranc fracture dislocations are rare injuries and even more so in the pediatric population. The main purpose of our study is to present a descriptive analysis of Lisfranc injuries in pediatric patients to add to the current sparse literature on this topic. In addition, our secondary outcome was to analyze any differences in patients treated conservatively versus operatively, and those with isolated Lisfranc injuries versus those with associated foot injuries.

Purpose: Tibial tubercle/tuberosity fractures are rare injuries in young patients accounting for less than one percent of physeal fractures. Bilateral simultaneous fractures are even rarer, with only a few case reports in literature. The purpose of our study was to describe the largest case series of bilateral simultaneous tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures and compare it with unilateral fractures.
