PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate the MRI features of tibial tubercle injury in adult. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical and MRI data of 14 cases with tibial tubercle injury in adult. Results Of all the cases,10 cases were acute phase injury, were associated with swelling, hypertrophy and increased signal in the distal of the patellar ligament.7 cases of the 10 cases were contusion and incomplete avulsion of the tibial tubercle, which showed edema signal and the separation of the backbone was not obvious.3 cases were completely avulsion of tibial tubercle, with patellar tendon retraction and free fracture. 4 cases were chronic injury, associated with obvious bony protrusion in tibial tubercle and high signal in the distal area of the patellar ligament, one case of bone fragments retained in the patellar tendon. Conclusion MRI imaging can clearly show the characteristic of the acute and chronic injury of tibial tubercle in adult,so which is worthy of application.
