Tibial eminence fractures are common pediatric injuries. The condition affects the attachment site of the anterior cruciate ligament on the tibia, which is a relatively weak area. Diagnostic accuracy and proper treatment are important to avoid complications. Fracture types and associated injuries determine management strategies based on fracture patterns, including conservative measures like immobilization and casting for type I fractures and surgical interventions like arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation for complex fractures (types III and IV). This activity enhances healthcare providers’ competence in evaluating and managing tibial eminence fractures, emphasizing prompt and accurate diagnosis for effective intervention and complication prevention. Treatment modalities are explored, highlighting the latest surgical techniques such as suture fixation or screw implantation while assessing the benefits and risks to ensure optimal outcomes while considering patients’ ages and fracture characteristics.
