ABSTRACT

Introduction: Tibial spine fracture is rare, with an incidence of 3/100,000; bilateral fractures are of extraordinary presentation. Case report: 30-year-old female who suffered a fall of 1.5 m height colliding the floor with heels that caused axial load, hyperextension, and forced valgus of both knees, her X-rays and tomography showed bilateral tibial spine fracture, he received arthroscopic treatment, carrying out reduction and fixation with high-strength sutures and Kirschner wires. Conclusions: Arthroscopic management of this type of injury provides functional results and reduces comorbidity, avoiding a second surgery to remove material.
