AI Article Synopsis
- - Bone-tendon junctions are weak points prone to injury, especially in young males, with the tibial tubercle being a key area susceptible to conditions like Osgood Schlatter disease from chronic trauma.
- - While repetitive trauma leads to conditions like OSD in kids, adults typically face issues like distal patellar tendon ruptures around their 30s-40s.
- - This text presents a rare case of a 15-year-old soccer player who experienced a fracture of the tibial tubercle and a simultaneous rupture of the patellar tendon, alongside a review of related medical literature.
Article Abstract
Bone-tendon junctions are prone for acute trauma due to its structural weakness, especially in premature males. For the lower limb, the most eminent area is the tibial tubercle apophysis. Osgood Schlatter disease (OSD) due to repetitive trauma or epiphyseal fractures due to one trauma is well described in literature and known in pediatric practice. Traumatic distal patella tendon ruptures on the other hand are a typical injury of the knee extensor mechanism of mature patients in the fourth decade. Here, the very rare condition of fracture of the tibial tubercle apophysis with simultaneous rupture of the distal patellar tendon of a 15 year old soccer player with previous history of OSD is presented including a review of the recent literature.
