| Abstract (English): |
Fractures about the knee are common in children and adolescents. Characteristics of the growing skeleton make children susceptible to specific fractures that do not occur in adults. Understanding the relevant anatomy, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options are important to decrease the risk of complications. The aim of this article is to discuss the current trends in diagnosis and treatment of tibial eminence, tibial tuberosity sleeve, and osteochondral fractures in children and adolescents.
