Case Reports[Bilateral apophyseal rupture of the tibial tuberosity in the athlete].
The fracture through the apophysis underlining the tibial tuberosity remains an infrequent traumatic lesion. The simultaneous bilateral occurrence of this injury is rare. A 16-year old athlete suffered an Ogden type 1B fracture on the left and a type 1B injury combined with a Salter II lesion on the right side during the acceleration phase of a high jump. ⋯ Hardware removal was performed after 12 weeks. Full range of motion and return to athletic activity was obtained 20 weeks after the injury. A modification of the Ogden classification is suggested.
