Tibia Tuberosity Fracture and Patellar Tendon Rupture Combination in a Pediatric Patient: Case Report and Narrative Review

A combination of tibial tuberosity (TT) fracture (TTF) along with patellar tendon (PT) rupture (PTR) is rare.

description A combination of tibial tuberosity (TT) fracture (TTF) along with patellar tendon (PT) rupture (PTR) is rare. We report a 15-year-old male who presented to our ED with acute knee pain and an inability to actively extend the knee after jumping during a basketball game. Diagnosis of simultaneous PTR is crucial as it changes clinical management. It is, therefore, important to maintain a high index of suspicion for the combination of TTF and PT injury.
