- Abstract
Fractures of the anterior tibial tuberosity are relatively uncommon injuries, mainly occurring in athletic males between 14 and 17 years of age. Most of these fractures are sustained while jumping in sports activities. We report two cases of anterior tibial tuberosity fractures, one with an uncommon mechanism of injury.
