Background
- Avulsion fracture of tibial spine is equivalent to ACL rupture in adult
Clinical Features
Differential Diagnosis
Pediatric Tibial Fractures
Evaluation
Management
General Fracture Management
- Acute pain management
- Open fractures require immediate IV antibiotics and urgent surgical washout
- Neurovascular compromise from fracture requires emergent reduction and/or orthopedic intervention
- Consider risk for compartment syndrome
Specific Management
- Nondisplaced
- Managed conservatively with immobilization and ortho follow up
- Displaced
- Immediate ortho consult
