Excerpt

In general, a short oblique fracture of tibial shaft is caused by severe bending force due to high-energy trauma such as a motor vehicle accident. Meanwhile, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common sport knee injuries and occurs due to complicated mechanisms of injury that include deceleration, hyperextension, anterior dislocation, external rotation and abduction, or internal rotation of the tibia on the femur [1, 2]. Accordingly, two injuries rarely occur concurrently at the ipsilateral lower limb in one patient due to the different mechanism of two injuries, and there has been no report of ACL tear concomitant with a short oblique tibial shaft fracture. Moreover, no case of a short oblique tibial shaft fracture combined with an ACL tear and a posteromedial plateau fracture, which is an uncommon osseous lesion concomitant with an ACL tear [1, 3, 4], has yet been reported to date. …
