Abstract
The Tillaux fracture is an avulsion fracture of the distal anterior tibial tubercle that is seen in adolescents. The authors present a literature review that includes classification, mechanism of injury, epiphyseal development, and treatment. Two cases of the Tillaux fracture are presented that represent patients of different physeal maturity and severity of injury, and different techniques of osteosynthesis.
