Bilateral Tibial Tubercle Avulsion Fractures Associated With Osgood-Schlatter's Disease

Abstract not available. Introduction provided instead.

Avulsions of the tibial tubercle are rare injuries with a reported incidence of lower than 3%.^1,2 Although anecdotal evidence in case reports supports a relationship between Osgood-Schlatter’s disease (OSD) and the risk for tibial tubercle avulsion fractures, no studies have established a definite connection.

This report represents a case of an individual with preexisting OSD who sustained sequential bilateral tibial tubercle avulsion fractures.
