ABSTRACT
The authors review 31 cases of fracture of the intercondylar tibial eminence in children and adolescents. In view of the constant relationship observed between the initial clinical and radiological findings and the final results, they advise that a clinical examination in narcosis be done in all cases in order to ascertain the existence or otherwise of ligamentous laxity, which is the determining factor in the end result. After emphasizing the differences as compared with these fractures in adults, the principal surgical techniques are reviewed, including the role of arthroscopy.
