Abstract

Closed tibial shaft fractures are the most common long bone fractures, being in turn tibial spine fractures (TEF) that lead to instability and osteoarthritis in the knee if not dealt in a proper and timely manner. The study was descriptive observational with a population of 33 patients with tibial spine fracture. According to the Meyers and McKeever classification, type I where there is no displacement and only the anterior lip of the spine is slightly elevated, without exposure, was the most frequent type of fracture. It was found that the left tibial bone was slightly more frequent (51,5 %) compared to the right side; the most frequent injury mechanism was hyperextension of the knee (60,6 %), the most frequent causes of it were traffic accident and sports injury (both represented 27,3 %). 78,8 % of the fractures were not exposed and according to the Meyers and McKeever classification, type I was the most frequent type of fracture (57,6 %). Among the conditions that usually accompany tibial spine fracture, only 15 % presented meniscal involvement, and only 12 % presented tibial plateau involvement.
