Abstract
Background: Simultaneous occurrence of patellar tendon rupture and tibial tuberosity avulsion with anterolateral rim of tibial plateau fracture is an extremely rare condition that mainly occurs in adolescent population involved in sports activities. It is believed to be due to eccentric contraction of the extensors with the leg fixed to the ground.
Case History: The author present a case of 42 years old male patient who suffered an avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity with anterolateral rim of tibial plateau with rupture of patellar tendon in road-traffic accident which is rarely seen.
Method: It was treated with open reduction with cannulated cancellous screw insertion and tension band wiring and patellar tendon repair by krackow technique which showed excellent results post-operatively. The pathophysiology, mechanism of injury, diagnosis and management of this case is reviewed in this article.
