Study assesses if anterior lip displacement predicts complications in patients with tibial spine fractures

Young patients who undergo surgery for displaced tibial spine fractures and who had both an extension and flexion contracture, had 2.2 times the odds of having a complication compared to patients who did not have any contractures, according to research presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's 2022 Annual Meeting.
