Abstract
Avulsion fractures of tibial eminence are not infrequent in the pediatric population but rare in the adult population. Moreover, displaced distal medial collateral ligament, known as Stener-like lesion, was also reported as rare. Each entity is well-documented when occurring in isolation. However, avulsion fracture of tibial eminence and displaced distal medial collateral ligament rupture in the same patient is rare. This paper reports a case of a 20-year-old female with such an injury. Moreover, avulsion fractures of tibial eminence were treated with arthroscopic pullout technique and suture tie. The medial collateral ligament was treated as an anatomical repair using suture anchors. A 4.1-mm side-to-side difference in valgus stress test was noted 6 months after surgery, and the clinical outcome was satisfactory and showed an uneventful magnetic resonance imaging scan at 1-year follow-up.
