Absolute Isolated Avulsion of the Anterolateral Complex of the Knee: A Segond Fracture
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Segond fracture is defined as an avulsion of the proximal anterolateral tibial plateau region originally described by the French surgeon Paul Ferdinand Segond in 1879 [1,2]. This injury is widely accepted as a pathognomonic radiographic marker of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury [1-3]. However, some reports describe this injury in the presence of an intact ACL in skeletally immature patients [4-5]. Recent anatomical and histological studies had described the anterolateral knee ligament (ALL) [6-9]. This structure defined by Dr. Segond initially in the nineteenth century has been receiving different nomenclatures until recently be assigned as ALL [10].

Reverse Segond Fracture Associated with Anteromedial Tibial Rim and Tibial Attachment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fractures
Reverse Segond fracture is an uncommon avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the deep portion of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. We report a reverse Segond fracture associated with anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture and anteromedial tibial rim fracture. Unlike previous reports, the combination of reverse Segond fracture, anteromedial tibial rim fracture, and...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Segond Fractures in Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
BACKGROUND The Segond fracture is an avulsion-type fracture located on the anterolateral aspect of the tibia associated with a ligament recently termed the anterolateral ligament. This injury has been described as pathognomonic for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and is associated with a higher grade pivot shift. PURPOSE To present and report 2-year clinical outcomes of a surgical te...
متن کاملReverse Segond fracture without PCL injury
This case involves a unique reverse Segond fracture pattern with ACL and MCL tears that does not have the usually involved PCL tear or obvious meniscal tear. It further shows the importance of recognition of the medial tibial avulsion fracture as an indicator of more severe internal derangement and instability of the knee. Early recognition prompts a more thorough evaluation and management of i...

Marginal fractures of the medial tibial plateau have been reported in the literature as a secondary type of Segond fracture. Some reports described this entity in the setting of combined injuries such as root avulsions of the medial meniscus, complete disruption of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and tears of the medial meniscus and m...
متن کاملAdolescent Segond fracture with an intact anterior cruciate ligament.
Segond fractures, or avulsion fractures of the proximal lateral tibial plateau, have been well documented and studied since their original description in 1878. Segond fractures have a widely recognized pathognomonic association with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and often prompt orthopedic surgeons to consider reconstruction following radiographic and clinical evaluation.
