Proximal Tibial physis fractures are rare injuries seen in adolescents that may be associated with vascular injury. Diagnosis can be confirmed with plain radiographs of the knee. The treatment may be nonoperative or operative depending on the Salter-Harris classification, stability, and the degree of displacement of the fracture. We report a case of detachment of the proximal tibial epiphysis and the tubercle apophysis Salter-Harris II in young adolescent treated by a gentle reduction and cast immobilization with good evolution. Our aim, through this work is to show the uncommon characteristic of these injuries, possibility of local complications and the difficult of choice between: nonoperative and surgical treatment.
