The Tillaux fracture, an adolescent tibial tubercle avulsion fracture, requires understanding of classification, injury mechanisms, and varied osteosynthesis techniques for effective treatment. This review details these aspects, supported by two diverse case examples.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • The Tillaux fracture is a specific type of avulsion fracture involving the distal anterolateral tibial epiphysis.
  • It predominantly affects the adolescent population due to open physes.

Observation:

  • Literature review encompassing classification, injury mechanisms, and epiphyseal development.
  • Presentation of two distinct Tillaux fracture cases with varying physeal maturity and injury severity.

Findings:

  • Detailed analysis of fracture classification and associated injury mechanisms.
  • Comparison of different surgical osteosynthesis techniques for Tillaux fractures.
  • Illustrates the spectrum of presentation based on skeletal maturity.

Implications:

  • Informs orthopedic surgeons on diagnosing and managing Tillaux fractures in adolescents.
  • Highlights the importance of considering physeal maturity in treatment planning.
  • Contributes to the understanding of surgical outcomes with different fixation methods.
