Avulsion fractures of tibial spine, leading to discontinuity of anterior cruciate ligament fibers has been well described in literature in both pediatric and adult population. These fractures are also called as tibial eminence fractures or ACL avulsion fractures. They represent a variant of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Poncet in 1895 was probably the first person to document these types of injuries and it was only in 1959 that Meyers and McKeever described an account of surgical management of type II injuries of tibial spine. These injuries are commonly seen in children aged between 8-13 years and are usually sports related injuries occurring especially during cycling and skiing [1-3].In adults these injuries are commonly related to high energy trauma usually road traffic accidents [31] and have high incidence of associated injuries. The cause of increased incidence amongst children is hypothesized as being secondary to relative weakness of incompletely ossified tibial eminence compared to native ACL fibres [4].It has also been proposed that injury occurs secondary to greater elasticity of ligaments in young people [5].
