Background: Tibial tubercle fractures (TTF) are uncommon injuries, comprising <3% of proximal tibial fractures. Rarely, they occur in conjunction with patellar tendon avulsion (PTA). We aimed to compare reoperation rates and short-term postoperative outcomes in patients with TTF versus combined injuries.

- Tibial tubercle fractures (TTFs) are rare, making up less than 3% of all proximal tibial fractures, and can sometimes occur alongside patellar tendon injuries (PTIs).
- A study analyzed data from 2012 to 2023 at a children's hospital, focusing on demographic factors and injury patterns among 252 patients with 262 TTFs.
- Results showed that fragment rotation and Ogden Type-I classification were significantly associated with combined TTF and PTI, helping surgeons in preoperative assessments.
Background: Recently, fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation has been developed to assess intraoperative cup inclination/anteversion and leg-length discrepancy (LLD) in the operating room. However, there is a relative dearth of studies investigating the accuracy of this software compared with postoperative radiographs.
Materials And Methods: We prospectively enrolled 211 navigated anterior total hip arthroplasties using fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation software.
