Description
Julian Ramin Andresen, Stephan Payr, Stefan Hajdu, Silke Aldrian, and Stephan Heisinger report a rare knee injury in a child in a 2026 case paper. A 13-year-old was struck by a car and hurt the knee. The outer knee ligament had torn away with a piece of bone. Such bony tears are rare in children and easy to miss.
Scans showed the torn fragment at the fibular head, with no other knee damage. Surgeons put the fragment back and fixed it with anchors and a stitch. The growth plate of the bone was spared in the fix. At one year the knee was stable and scans looked normal. The authors urge fast spotting and a growth-safe fix for such cases.
