Extension of Tibial Spine Fractures Beyond the Tibial Spine: An MRI Analysis of 54 Patients

This study demonstrated that TSF beds were larger in younger patients, extended to the posterior third of the epiphysis in 54% of cases, and should be examined carefully for extension into weightbearing regions of the tibial plateau. In pediatric patients, the TSF often involves more of the tibial plateau than the anatomic footprint of the tibial spine, and clinicians should be aware of the potential for extension posteriorly and into the weightbearing surfaces.
