Introduction

Theanteriortibialtuberosity(ATT)developsfromasecondary

ossificationcenterintheanterolateralaspectofthetibiain

Discussion

Theavulsionfracturesoftheanteriortibialtuberosity

com-prehendahigher numberofinjuriesinmen,probably due

tothe highernumberofmenpracticingactivitiesinvolving

jumping.Inourcases,theyweretheresultsoftwopossible

mechanismsofaction:(1)abruptkneeflexionwithquadriceps

contraction,typicalofjump landing;(2)violent quadriceps

contractionwithafixedfoot,asinjumping.

Theoriginalclassificationsystemwascreatedby

Watson-Jones,8 whodefined threetypes.Type Iisan avulsionofa

smallportionofthetibialtuberosity,distaltothephysisof

theproximaltibia;TypeIIinvolvesthewholephysis,butdoes

notextendtothekneejoint;typeIIIcorrespondstoavulsion

thatextendsproximallytothekneegrowthplate.

ThisclassificationwasmodifiedbyOgdenandSouthwick,1

aimingatamoreaccuratedefinitionofthespecificfracture

patternsandprovidingtreatmentfordifferenttypesof

frac-tures, including displacement and fragmentation. Ryu and

Debenham3thensuggestedaddingatypeIV,whichisa

frac-tureofthetibialtuberositythatextendsposteriorlyalongthe

proximaltibialgrowthplate andcreatesanavulsionofthe

entireproximalepiphysis.Subsequently,theadditionofatype

CwasproposedbyFranklinetal.,9forfractureswith

associ-atedavulsionofthepatellarligament.Finally,atypeVwas

suggestedbyMcKoyandStanitski10alsodescribedbyCurtis,11

whichconsistedofafracturetypeIIIBwithanassociated

frac-turetypeIV,creatingaYconfiguration.

the constant quadriceps pullforce. However, patientswith
