Abstract

A 14-year-old male football player consulted a sports physical therapist 1 week after being kicked in the front part of his left knee as he was trying to recover an onside kick. Because of these findings in a 14-year-old adolescent, a radiological examination was recommended to rule out a tibia eminence or growth-plate fracture. Radiographs revealed a nondisplaced type III Salter-Harris fracture of the lateral tibial plateau. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(6):511. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.7868.
