Published: December 2024

Tibial spine fractures (TSFs) are a relatively uncommon knee injury that most commonly occurs in skeletally immature pediatric patients following a sports or bicycle-related injury. Treatment of TSFs is guided based on fracture displacement on radiographs and associated injuries. Surgical treatment is recommended for displaced TSFs with arthroscopic or open reduction and fixation. Arthroscopic reduction and suture fixation can be utilized for all tibial spine fractures, regardless of comminution, and allows for treatment of both the TSF and concomitant meniscal and/or chondral injuries. Stable fixation and early motion are important to minimize the risk of arthrofibrosis.
