Abstract:
Avulsion fractures of the tibial apophysis are rare. Seven cases were treated between 1993 and 1998 in our department. The treatment was conservative in 1 case, in the other 6 open reduction and internal fixation was used. The results after an average of 23 months were good. There were no growth disturbances.
