Abstract
Avulsion fracture of the anterior tibial tuberosity is a rare lesion of the adolescent at the end of growth. We report the observation of a 16-year-old adolescent operated on anterior tibial tuberosity (ATT) tearing. The trauma occurred during a sport activity (basketball). The treatment consisted in reducing the ATT in the open and then fixing it by screwing. The result, after rehabilitation, was good.
