Resumen (ES)

Fractures of the anterior tibial tubercle are uncommon lesions, adolescents being more frequently affected. Physeal extension through the posterior tibial cortical bone is rare. Some authors have suggested that a new type IV can be added to the Watson-Jones classiflcation. In this paper, we report a case with epiphysiolisis of the proximal tibia associated to an avulsion fracture of the anterior tibial tubercle. The Watson-Jones classiflcation, the mechanism of injury are discussed together a review of the literature.
