Avulsion fractures of the knee are numerous due to the many ligaments and tendons inserting around this joint. They include 1:
-
avulsion of the medial collateral ligament
origin of MCL avulsion fracture: Stieda fracture
insertion of deep fibers: reverse Segond fracture
avulsion fracture of the deep fibers
avulsion fracture of the insertion of superficial fibers of MCL: 5 cm below the joint line
-
avulsion of the lateral collateral ligament:
origin of LCL: above popliteal groove
conjoined tendon: fibular head below the tip, biceps femoris and insertion of LCL avulsion fracture
arcuate ligament complex avulsion fracture (arcuate sign)
iliotibial band avulsion fracture: Gerdy tubercle
-
chronic injuries
