Abstract

Considerable differences of opinion exist concerning the best treatment of anterior tibial spine fractures in children. In this retrospective study of 32 cases, residual symptoms and/or clinical instabilities were found in 16 instances. Open surgery is suggested for displaced fractures in patients 10 years and older.
