Advanced imaging modalities, particularly magnetic resonance imaging, are helpful and can provide valuable additional information for adequately defining the extent of damage. Three cases (15.7%) of extensor mechanism disruption were noted, two patellar tendon avulsions and one quadriceps avulsion. The proximal tibia has two ossification centers: one at the level of proximal tibial epiphysis and a second at the tibial tubercle or apophysis (Fig.1). there is adequate anatomic reduction.

Surgical treatment should be applied in displaced (> 2mm), comminuted or intra-articular fractures or when there is loss of extension capacity such as fractures types IIB, III and IV and in those cases of unsatisfactory conservative treatment (13). Senior author decided for a surgical treatment with two cancellous half-threaded screws, with washers, and with a reparation of lateral retinaculum of the patella. Activities involving powerful contraction of the knee extensors, such as springing and jumping movements, can result in avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity apophysis. Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures are an uncommon injury occurring due to strong contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle during leg extension, ultimately causing failure of the physis at the patellar tendon insertion.
