Abstract:
Tibial spine fractures (TSFs) is a special type of intra-articular fracture, which is more common in children and adolescents. In recent years, the incidence of avulsion fractures in adults have been on the rise with the increase in road traffic injuries and sports injuries such as skiing. Once a fracture occurs, aggressive clinical interventions are needed to avoid joint dysfunction. According to the Meyers-McKeever classification, TSFs can be classified into types I-IV, and with the development of magnetic resonance imaging technology and the increase in the understanding of concomitant injuries of fractures, a new classification system has been proposed. The treatment modalities for different fracture types and concomitant injuries are different, and the type of internal fixation material to be used for the same type of fracture is also controversial. Based on this, this article reviews three aspects of fracture diagnosis and classification, associated injuries, and treatment, taking into account the new research advances on TSFs in recent years.
