abstract="Simultaneous bilateral avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity is a rare injury. Since it was first described in 1955, there have been eight similar cases. We have reviewed each of these reports and describe an additional case of a 13-year-old boy, who sustained simultaneous bilateral avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity from jumping while playing soccer. Like the previous reports, our patient had a satisfactory result from open reduction and internal fixation of both fractures. Despite being bilateral, these injuries have a low complication rate and good outcome comparable with that of unilateral avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
