Iliotibial band avulsion fracture: a case report with differential diagnosis.
Emergency Radiology 2016 Februrary
Avulsion injuries of the knee are common sequelae of significant trauma given the number of ligamentous and tendinous insertions around the joint. Commonly discussed avulsion fractures of the lateral knee include the Segond fracture of the lateral tibial plateau and the arcuate complex avulsion fracture of the fibular styloid process. A less common avulsion fracture is the iliotibial (IT) band avulsion fracture involving the anterolateral corner of the tibia (Gerdy's tubercle). It is crucial to identify IT band avulsion fractures because of the frequent associated internal derangements of the knee. This case report describes the imaging of an acute IT band avulsion fracture and compares these findings with other lateral knee avulsion fractures.
