Sažetak
Aim: to show that even a minor trauma could cause the tibial tubercle avulsion in adolescents and has a high risk of developing compartment syndrome. Case report: A boy aged 15 sustained tibial tubercle avulsion after a minor trauma. During the postoperative period the peronal paresis was observed which regressed on pharmaceutical and physical therapy. Conclusion: Early recognition and treatment of tibial tubercle avulsion is very important. Close monitoring during the perioperative period is recommended.
